Subject: A Daughter's Tale- Response to Question 1

IN Response to question one, "Janet has apparently spent her entire adult life preparing herself for Alzheimer's Armed witht he test results, how might Janet be better able to confront the risk to herself and her family? What can Janet and her family do with this information?" I think that with the knowledge she has, she should be able to live a better life up to the point that she gets it. Depending on what age she is, ther could be cures or treatments that could help her through this hard time. If she is older and does not have much time, the her and her family can prepare for what is to come. They know the side effects and since Janet has been through this with all of her family with her mother and father, then she will know what is comming. With that they wil be able to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. They should read up on the disease and prepare her and her family for what is comming so that they know what to expect. She should plan out how much and what she wants her family to do and then this way, her family would not have to worry about things like that when she gets the disease and they already ahve so much to worry about.
