Hi all,
Just a quick one.
Has anyone been involved in clinical trials for Alzheimer's? The doctor my Dad has been seeing suggested that he (and I as his carer) participate in Phase 3 of the clinical trials that restore the Taux protein in the brain (or something like that). It does seem to make sense to try - there is nothing else out there that will solve the underlying process but at the same time, I feel there is so much already to organise for my Dad and I am just getting to the stage where I feel I have a good routine with him and am on top of things, I am worried the trials will just add a whole load more pressure and take up the limited time I have to care for my Dad and work/live my life. Also there is only 50% chance he will actually get the real drugs and not the placebo but, if he does get the real drugs and they do something, I would be so happy we went for it. Dad has made up his mind he wants to go for it but I am a little hesitant. Any thoughts/experiences/advice?
Thanks!!
