Hi Greg and Linda. My name is Mary Margaret. Just yesterday I got my PTAU217 lab results. It is positive. Of course, it could still be kidney disease, right? On the bright side, I don't have syphilis. I didn't know she was testing for that, but I guess it's good to know.

I'm not sure if I get a diagnosis when I meet with my neuro on Wednesday. Based on my frenetic googling, I'd guess I may be in for a PET scan before she can be definitive. My searches also brought you to my algorithm. Apparently we are on the same strange journey.

It is strangely comforting just being able to name the test right off believing you'll recognize it since you went through this last year. I've learned a considerable bit since yesterday but understand that I don't even know what I don't know.

I look forward to hearing more from you.
