Letters, Jan. 30: Alzheimer’s care hindered

Lecanemab, also known as Leqembi, is a new Alzheimer’s drug that modestly slows the brain-robbing disease, but Medicare will not cover the treatment. A reader hopes for that to change.Re: “Cowboys’ latest failure wasn’t all on Prescott,” Sports, Wednesday:

Love him or hate him, everyone has an opinion about Jerry Jones, the owner and general manager of the Cowboys. His head coach, Mike McCarthy, gets a fair share of discussion, too. However, the harshest criticisms fall on the shoulders of the quarterback. Prescott didn’t lose the game by himself. Football is a team sport, and the general manager and coach are part of the team.My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s four years ago, and I am her caregiver.

Recently, the FDA approved Lecanemab, an Alzheimer’s treatment shown to slow its progression at an early stage. Treatments taken in the early stages of Alzheimer’s promise a better quality of life.
