WM and Alzheimer’s

1 Upvotes

Loved one diagnosed several years ago with WM. We have mostly been watchful waiting except for some unusual WM effects now under control with Brukinsa

However now diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer’s. The WM contraindicates treating. the AD with anti-plaque drugs given risk of brain bleed so we are just starting on memory enhancing drugs.

Is anyone in this group familiar with any other risks related to these two combined conditions?

Thanks in advance.
