Subject: A Daughter's Tale: Question 7

I think that getting tested for Alzheimer's disease is a personal decision that one makes for their own reasons, whether they are good or bad really is not up to us. The emotional stress of knowing that you have such a high risk of developing Alzheimer's effects both the person at risk his or her family. However, I think the family's stress mostly comes in when the person they love actually does develop the disease. Though I would not get tested simply to keep from any worry (because theres no cure and worrying about it before just ruins the time you do have and the results are never 100%), it is an individual decision.
