    That is some very promising news for the future of tackling this terrible disease. Most of the reports showed promise for those with an early diagnoses. I’m sure there are many here like our situation who finally got a diagnoses after many months or years only to find out that our LO’s were too advanced in the disease for anything that would help. There needs to be a faster way to discover this disease rather than having to jump through many hoops before finally finding out. In our case it took over 18 months to finally get a diagnoses of EOAD.
