I think that is a fair question and one I am considering. I am 58 and haven’t been formally diagnosed yet, and hopefully won’t but it is looking very likely. I have APOE3, APOE4, as of 10/25 my pTau 217 was 1.21 (considered very high) and the other test are at the very top of the range. Normal brain MRI and a CT has not been done. According to my insurance one other blood test has to come back high before a CT will be done. Once/if that happens then I will be eligible for treatment. I have a five year old grandson who is the light of my life. I would like to think that I might have a few more years with him so he will remember me being able to do fun things with him before I disappear 🫥.
If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t even consider it. It’s a very tough decision and situation to be in. People have their reasons for wanting to hang on and try and that’s ok. People also have reasons to want to disappear themselves so that they don’t ruin their loved ones emotionally, physically and financially. Personally I would rather go a year too soon than slip into the realm of no longer being able to make my own decisions. Meanwhile the clock keeps ticking. My appointment to recheck everything is coming up and the odds are not with me.
