Fighting for My Life by Jamie Tennapel Tyrone
Diagnosed with a 91 percent risk of developing Alzheimer's disease because of her genes, retired nurse Jamie Tyrone has teamed up with Dr. Marwan Sabbagh, a leading neurologist, to create a clear, helpful guide for exploring the risks of genetic testing and for living productively in the shadow of Alzheimer's.
