Robin McIntyre has a genetic mutation that means she will almost certainly develop early onset Alzheimer's disease.
It happened to her grandfather, who was diagnosed in his late 40s. Robin's mother developed Alzheimer's when she was 50.
Robin is now 35, and she is involved in a clinical trial and hopes a drug can be developed to stop the disease.
But she has had to make some serious life decisions given what she knows.
