A few MONTHS? I’d rather save my family the $250,000 the drug probably costs and just wonder around aimlessly.

Exactly. We have been trying to find anything about Alzheimers for many many years. Now we have 2 drugs that can give you half a year more of normal life. It is a great first step to better drugs later on
