A woman diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s has opened up about the difficult decision to end her life through a medical assistance program, as well as the early symptoms she experienced.
Rebecca Luna received her diagnosis two years ago, following a series of cognitive tests and brain scans conducted by a neurologist.
The 48-year-old was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, also known as young-onset, a rare form of dementia that affects individuals under the age of 65, often in their 40s and 50s.
