    About this ebook

    A practical, helpful guide on how to fight back against Alzheimer’s disease—with expert medical advice and one woman’s inspiring personal journey.

    Jamie Tyrone was forty-nine years old when she learned by accident through genetic testing that she had a 91% chance of getting Alzheimer's disease. She was shocked, but after an initial bout with depression she decided to take action rather than concede defeat.

    Jamie teamed up with Dr. Marwan Sabbagh, a renowned neurologist, and together they created a resource detailing not just Jamie's experience, but expert medical advice for anyone facing the disease.

    This book is a practical, helpful guide for those who know they’re at greater risk of contracting Alzheimer’s disease. With cutting-edge medical guidance from Dr. Sabbagh about the true nature of Alzheimer’s, the risks involved, and daily steps you can take to protect yourself, Jamie’s story will encourage and empower you.

    In Fighting for My Life, readers will:

    • Gain expert medical advice from Dr. Sabbagh on how to fight back against the disease
    • Discover the pros, cons and possible dangers of genetic testing
    • Witness a first-hand account of how to deal with the shadow of Alzheimer’s disease through Jamie’s story

    If Alzheimer’s has affected your life or the life of someone you know, this book is for you. You’ll be armed with information and ready to tackle Alzheimer’s head-on.

    Jamie TenNapel Tyrone

    Jamie Tennapel Tyrone es una enfermera matriculada jubilada y presidenta de B.A.B.E.S., «Vencer el Alzheimer Abrazando la Ciencia». Ella es miembro fundador de WomenAgainstAlzheimer's (WA2) [Mujeres contra el Alzheimer], y fue honrada con un lugar en «El gran muro del empoderamiento», de Maria Shriver. Jamie defiende con toda diligencia la búsqueda de una prevención o cura de esta enfermedad, participando ella misma en la investigación e incentivando a otros a prestarse para ensayos clínicos. Su cautivante historia ha sido tomada por el Washington Post, el New York Times, el San Diego Union Tribune y apareció en una columna de PBS NewsHour con Judy Woodruff. El galardonado documental de CNN, «Filling the Blank» y el de la BBC, «Horizon: Curing Alzheimer's», destacaron el arduo peregrinaje de Jamie.
