My adult children are facing this decision because my husband and his two sisters have Alzheimer's. I do not recommend it to them until there is a cure or prevention drug. I encourage good health. I had breast cancer and there is a test for that as well, but no cure or treatment you could start. So I don't recommend that to my daugther and neither did her doctor.
