Re: History of our treatment struggles

JerryB, what an amazing, caring,partner you are. Your wife is so fortunate to have such a good husband who is so loving and so resourceful in working to find the best solutions to the many aspects of this disease. I'm not a caretaker myself. I'm the almost 83 year old e4/e4 that might be needing tha...

Sunday Feb. 16, 2020 is fine for me. I vote for meeting every four month rather than three.

Re: Scared!

Hi CindiRN, I want to add my welcome to the list. I like NF52 description of herself as being an older ApoE 4/4 sister. I'm another older ApoE 4/4 sister who will be turning 83 soon. As others have commented, there is lots of valuable information on this site that, if followed, will help keep your b...

Re: BRCA

Hello ktg000, Starfish here saying welcome back! I'm an e4/e4. I don't believe I have any BRCA genes but did have breast cancer when I was 43. I'm 82 and really closer to 83 so that makes it 40 years ago. Just keep yourself as healthy as you can with all the good information on the forum. We are all...

Thanks to Mike for organizing the meetup and PSu for the excellent summary. It was a lovely day and a perfect location for the meetup. I certainly got some good ideas and enjoyed being with the group. I left feeling extra motivated by our friends accomplishments.

Re: Oldest APOE 4/4

Hello U07jrb, I'm Starfish and I'm 82 and a 4/4. I too have often wondered how many APOE4 people we have on this site that are 75 and over. Some people may not wish to give their actual ages online. Perhaps if any of you are 75 or over you could PM me and I would be glad to report the resulting numb...

Re: Any NORCAL folks interested in a get together?

Sunday, Oct. 13 is good for me. San Rafael would be fine. Pick any location that will be convenient for the most people. I don't mind driving a little extra since I'm the one in an outlying direction.
Welcome to BarbaraS. I hope we get to meet you in October.
