Hi all,
My mother and 3 of her 5 sisters had Alzheimer's, their own mother had it too. .I looked after my mother for several years before my own cancer battles, M.E, Fibro etc etc became too much for me to look after her. She went into a very nice retirement home with her own flat etc. A bit expensive but it was very good, we had to sell the house and I was made homeless!! to pay for her care. Anyway I am 64 and was asked to take part in genetic research. The results of this research is that I have 4 out of 4 markers meaning 100% likely to get Alzheimer's........ I dreaded but kind of Knew this would be the outcome. They advised me to tell my family and friends, to warn them. But I have no friends (no really) and just one brother and he is a high functioning Aspergers sufferer. What to do, what to do.............
