  Fighting For My Life

  $18.99

  A woman with a 91 percent chance of contracting Alzheimer’s disease, a leading neurologist and Alzheimer’s expert, and their mission to tackle one of the scariest illnesses of our day. Now available in trade paper.

  Jamie Tyrone was forty-nine years old when she learned she had a genetic predisposition toward Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, her genes translated to a 91 percent chance that she would contract the disease during her lifetime.

  Yes, 91 percent. Almost a guarantee.

  As a former nurse, and with her family’s history of suffering from Alzheimer’s, Jamie knew what she was up against. But she decided to take action rather than concede defeat. She started by founding B.A.B.E.S (Beating Alzheimer’s By Embracing Science) to raise money and awareness in the search for a cure. Energized by that community, Jamie teamed up with renowned neurologist Dr. Marwan Sabbagh to write Fighting for My Life as a practical, helpful guide for any person impacted by the shadow of Alzheimer’s Disease.

  In addition to Jamie’s inspiring story, Fighting for My Life includes 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 against the disease. Finally, both Jamie and Dr. Sabbagh offer an honest look at the pros, cons, and possible dangers of genetic testing.

  Fighting For My Life

  $26.99

  A uniquely hopeful exploration of the impact of Alzheimer’s Disease. This book combines the compelling story of Jamie Tyrone – a self-proclaimed “lab rat” diagnosed with a 91 percent chance of contracting AD – with the medical expertise of Dr. Marwan Sabbagh, a leading authority on Alzheimer’s and dementia.

  Jamie Tyrone was forty-nine years old when she learned she had a genetic predisposition toward Alzheimer’s disease-in fact, her genes translated to a 91 percent chance that she would contract the disease during her lifetime. Surprised by the way she learned of the diagnosis through genetic testing, and painfully familiar with Alzheimer’s because of her family history and her experience as a nurse, Jamie felt as if she had a ticking time-bomb inside her, ready to go off at any moment.

  After an initial bout with depression, Jamie decided to take action rather than concede defeat. She started by founding B.A.B.E.S (Beating Alzheimer’s By Embracing Science) to raise money and awareness in the search for a cure. Energized by that community, Jamie teamed up with renowned neurologist Dr. Marwan Sabbagh to write Fighting for My Life as a practical, helpful guide for those who know they are at greater risk of contracting Alzheimer’s Disease.

  This book is unique because it offers expert medical advice from Dr. Sabbagh alongside Jamie’s real-life experiences as a woman living in the shadow of Alzheimer’s. In addition, Fighting for My Life is one of the only books on the market that takes an honest look at the pros, cons, and possible dangers of genetic testing.
