Disheartening news arrived today, when I picked up the newspaper and read Biogen halts promising Alzheimer’s drug trials. Years ago when my husband was diagnosed with early-onset-Alzheimer’s, there were 20 drugs in the pipeline, so we were sure there would be something for him. And, there was no doubt or worry about our children’s future. How wrong we were. My oldest child is five years away from being the age her father was when he was diagnosed and my youngest child is coming up from behind quickly. I try not to worry but somedays are harder than others, like today when it was out there…another failure. Will there ever be a cure? Why is this disease so impossible to crack? What will be the fate of my children and grandchildren? These questions continue to roll around in my head and will until researchers unlock the answers. Please help anyway you can in this fight, either by donating money or becoming part of a research study.
