My Mom was diagnosed in 1997 at age 53. She lived 11 yrs. The first drug - Aricept afforded us many more "good" yrs. I am hopeful there will be more on the horizon. Hug your Moms for Mother's Day!

We are sorry about that. Yes, research is crucial, as is helping build a more prevention-oriented culture. Already today, there is enough evidence suggesting lifestyle factors that can reduce significantly the probability of developing Alzheimer's symptoms. All awareness programs, such as those by the Alzheimer's Foundation, AARP, Dana Foundation, and more, are very important. Hello Carol, thank you for sharing. We are sorry about that.

I experienced it firsthand with my mother who spent the last three years of her life in my home--with Alzheimer's. Research is crucial. We have to combat this disease from all angles--and societies need to add more pressure and demand so that research and development will continue--and hopefully make significant progress. ~Carol D.
