@dells3 My husband is currently on Leqembi. It was the only infusion available back in January 2025 for mild Alzheimers diagnosis at our hospital in Boston. At the one year mark his centroid value was 17. He is currently on a maintenance program and receiving Lecanemab monthly. If we had a choice back in 2025, we would have preferred the monthly infusion of D. We live 50 miles from the infusion site. It was tiring...The back and forth to the hospital really forced us to cut down on our travel, even locally. The process is a commitment as you know. Whatever decision you make will be best for your situation, but I suggest looking at the ongoing outcomes of each drug. Best of luck.

@dells3 I'm just waiting to get my PET Scan so we can move forward. Choosing Leqembi because I'm pretty petite at 105 lbs and the one size fits all with the other drug didn't appeal to me. It sure seems like a long long time to be sticking needles in me though....what have you decided on?
