Sounds good news.

Sadly the cost of these New Dugs are around
$25,000 a go.

So unless the price lowers
the National Health may not be able to afford it

[The i's lead story is about a study which
found erectile dysfunction drugs, like Viagra,
reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's by 18%.
However, scientists are warning men
against starting to take the drugs as
a precautionary measure.
Dr Leah Mursaleen, of Alzheimer's Research UK,
told the paper the study is "encouraging" but
doesn't confirm whether the drugs can
"slow or stop the disease".]

NHS needs to be abolished asap

…I wonder how many have been treated with donanemab since the trials were completed…it’s good that the gene detection can predict it much earlier, though…

Is that a veiled possible admission that the Cons don't intend to keep it ?

Yes Ammi, your last point is really important as to earlier diagnosis of this really heartbreaking and cruel condition.

Anything that will help to ease the uncertainty and fear of it is extremely welcome.

No

I said Labour

It costs a lot more than that to keep an adult in a care/nursing home.
My grandmother has vascular dementia. She has been in a nursing home for just under 16 months and because she had assets, has been a self payer. So far its cost her over £100,000. Now the government have had to step in and fund for her because she's down to her last £6k. Apart from her VD she's fit and healthy and likely to live quite a few more years.

Very Sorry to hear that.


I assume if the Labour Party
take over, changes will happen.

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother having Dementia.

And with the Alzheimer's Drug, I'm expecting that the price will come down once there's more of it in circulation.
