Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”

@2me I just had the MRI and getting ready for the Pet scan soon hopefully. Was pretty sure I'd go with Leqembi but now I'm thinking there's a chance the other infusion may only be 6 months or so if everything goes well. (I'm an optimist). With Leqembi, it seems like a forever drug...any thoughts.\?

@midnightwalker my husband went the lequembe route based on the neurologists' input and findings. as for the other infusion being 6 months or so, what you described in your post, I'd check that out. I don't remember either infusions FDA approved being 6 months. I know my husband is in the 19th lequembe infusion - 36 in total. I also know that after that, they go on maintenance once a month, but I have read, that based on how well it's received, some haven't gone into that year 2 treatment. I'm going to check that out with his doctor. Best, Karla

@midnightwalker There are others on this forum who are more experienced to help you with this question. In our case, it was the neurologist who steered the ship toward Lequembi…maybe from the scan results, or individual patient? IDK. I had hoped for the Kinsula for the same reason you mention. Best to you!
