Reply to comment by Starlightriddlex in Alzheimer's drug lecanemab hailed as momentous breakthrough by Methoszs

My mom passed away from alzheimers a few years ago, I can tell you that if even if the drug has a chance at killing me. I'd rather die than live through it. You become just a husk of a human.

My mom too. Right at 2 years ago. We actually don't know for sure that she had Alzheimer's because she refused all medical care once her memory started to slip. She would say, "I know I'm losing my memory. I don't want to be doped-up. You can deal with it."

And, she forced me to deal with it even though she absolutely refused to do any end-of-life paperwork. It was horrible dealing with my mother and our system.
