Hmmm …
That could be good news …
You’re — possibly — aware I’m a long term fan of writer, Terry Pratchett.
And one who not only saw Alzheimer’s Disease kill both his favourite writer, and a much loved grandmother.
So … ? As you can imagine, I’m not a fan of the condition.
And usually keep an eye on news about the condition.
News came in, yesterday: that the early studies of a new drug — Aducanumab — seem to show it has had very good results on a group of 165 patients.
I know the drug’s in it’s early stages.
I’m VERY aware it comes too late for both my grandmother, and Sir Terry.
But … ?
I can only hope this is a good sign.
Alzheimer’s may not be curable.
But this drug, if it can be shown to work well?
Sounds like a very good treatment.
