“I didn’t know much except that it was a long-term disease.”
Alzheimer’s is a complicated and confusing disease. We hear in the media about promising and not-so-promising research discoveries, and that confuses us more. That’s why families must take the time to educate themselves. Start with the Alzheimer’s Association www.alz.org

Hi Monica,
The Alzheimer's Association is a great place to start. They also provide resources for exsting clinical trials. I wanted to pass along information for one of these trials, the ICARA Study. The goal of the ICARA (Bapi) study (www.icarastudy.com)is to explore if an investigational drug, called Bapineuzumab, can help slow the progression of Alzheimer's Disease.
It is important for patients and families affected by Alzheimer's to consider participating in clinical studies.
Current therapies for Alzheimer's treat the symptoms associated with it, not the disease itself.
