    Hi Ricardo, My Name is Vicki and I am a very active 81 year old. Still taking care of my self, still driving, very independent, and living alone This past Friday I was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. I am not sure what drugs would be a good choice. My Dr has recommended lecanemab, but it is so expensive (Blue Shield in CA doesn't cover it) and I have concerns about the brain bleeds. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Vicki
