Hi, I guess I am a bit confused. I went to a Senior Center for Aging and saw a doctor. First visit we chatted, I told her about relatives who had Alz. , minor forgetful moments I was having. She ordered a blood test. It came back showing I had amyloid buildup and diagnosed me e/3 e/3 with MCI. Piece of cake. 2 visits, one visit to get blood work done. She orderd Aricept 5s for me and I started treatment. I took a full year on Aricept 5s before I decided to come in and get first an MRI, then a PET Scan. The PET Scan and my bloodwork matched almost 100% and we decided to get off the Dreamland wagon and face the real possibility I was heading into darker waters. I still do everything--drive, cook, shop, interact with family and friends. I'm nearly 80. I absorbed everything and I decided to go on Leqembi which is what I'm doing now. I was very fortunate to have a chance to help my situation. Light a fire under your docs--don't let them stall you from appt to appt and year to year. It's your life! Good luck to you. Let us know how it goes.
