I'm a 75-year-old woman who just had my 4th infusion on Leqembi. That was the only option offered by my hospital system in Oregon. In fact, they only just now approved it, and I was told at the infusion center I was the first patient on it. I had researched both infusion options and decided both had pros and cons, so I was just happy to get started on one asap! I tolerate the infusions pretty well. A headache is the worst so far and after this week I didn't even have that.

Yes, MRIs are needed as you go through the 18-month process, but they become less frequent after you have several infusions with no issues.
I know that this does not cure or correct any decline thus far, but felt it was worth going through to slow down the progress from now going forward. I would have happily taken either of the infusion options!
