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. Will she get it too? Does she really want to know?
Sally Magnusson and her family cared for their mother for many years before her death from dementia. With a possible familial link, Sally has often wondered: Will I be next?
Now a cure for Alzheimer’s is in sight – but the scientists need people like Sally to be tested. She can find out if she has the invisible indications of Alzheimer’s in her brain already by being part of a groundbreaking study of 'healthy brains' at Scotland’s pioneering brain clinic.
With privileged access to Sally’s sisters, her own children and their extensive family archive, this film paints a portrait of a family as they weigh up a potentially life-changing decision.
