A 68-year-old Mississippi woman with early Alzheimer’s is using LEQEMBI to slow decline, emphasizing early diagnosis and family.
Diana "Di" Fillhart, a 68-year-old retired NICU nurse from Mississippi, was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, the earliest stage of Alzheimer’s disease, in 2022 after noticing memory lapses.
She began treatment with LEQEMBI, a drug approved for early Alzheimer’s, which targets amyloid plaque in the brain and has been shown to slow cognitive decline in clinical trials.
Administered via biweekly IV infusions, the treatment may transition to a weekly subcutaneous injection.
While LEQEMBI carries serious risks, including brain swelling or bleeding, Di remains hopeful, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and proactive care.
She continues to focus on time with her family and faith community, highlighting resilience and the value of maintaining independence and connection.
