Sally Magnusson: Alzheimer's, a Cure and Me
Sally Magnusson: Alzheimer's, a Cure and Me
Sally Magnusson and her family cared for their mother for many years before her death from dementia. With a possible familial link, the broadcaster and author has often wondered if she would be next. A cure for Alzheimer's is now in sight, but scientists need people like Sally to be tested for invisible indicators of Alzheimer's as part of a groundbreaking study of healthy brains. Before deciding whether to take the tests, Sally meets leading scientists, as well as people living with dementia and those who like her have lost loved ones to the disease, and she discusses it with her family
Sally Magnusson: Alzheimer's, a Cure and Me airs on BBC Scotland HD at 9:00 PM, Wednesday 15 January. (Subtitles, repeat, audio description.)
