Karen Bonser cares for her husband Mick, who was diagnosed in 2018, and has welcomed a new treatment.
A woman whose husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at the age of 51 said she fears a new treatment might come too late for him.Mrs Bonser, from Nottinghamshire, saidThe Alzheimer's Society has called for more early diagnosis of the disease.The recent development of a new medicine - lecanemab - was hailed as ending decades of failure to treat Alzheimer's.
However the breakthrough will, it is hoped, usher in a new era of drugs to treat the disease and make a difference for future generations."The news brings much needed hope for people in the future but right now the medical system needs urgent attention to improve dementia diagnosis. "There's no denying the results from the drug trials are wonderful to hear; it's a moment to celebrate in the dementia research world.
"As a carer for someone living with the condition now, hearing that it's likely not to be available for a few more years, it's time that could take us and others over a threshold for being eligible, and that's even if Mick would have been suitable."The Alzheimer's Society has said there is a still a long way to go before lecanemab could be available on the NHS.
"The exciting results offer our best hope yet for not only delaying symptom progression for people with early stage Alzheimer's, but, significantly, slowing the loss of quality of life for them and their carers."
