Friends With Medical Benefits: How two friends are helping each other on their medical journeys
In this episode of Living With Alzheimer’s, Christoph interviews Bill Reznak and Dr. John McGuire who host the Friends with Medical Benefits podcast.
They discuss how two high school buddies reunite to support each other through their medical journeys. Bill, a colon cancer survivor, and Dr John, recently diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, describe how their reunion led to their podcast about the ups and downs of aging and illness.
Dr John describes the difference between “early-onset” Alzheimer’s and “early stage” Alzheimer’s. And he discusses the two intravenous treatments that have become recently available to help slow dementia progression: Leqembi and Kisunla.
They discuss their individual prognoses and how they’re supporting each other through their medical journeys. And they wrap up their conversation with Bill and John's most repeated theme: Get diagnosed early!
