Bad day for dad
My dad was diagnosed with Amyloidosis about a week ago and they went for a pre-biopsy consultation today to try to determine which type. The doctor decided the biopsy was not necessary as he is certain it is in my dad's bone marrow. He was referred to a Hematologist that can see him "sooner than later" (doctor's words). I know little about this disease but it is suspected that my dad's mother possibly passed from the same thing. That puts me next in line.
Some mentioned treatments were chemo, and stem cell transplant. He's certainly had better news. :( He'll be 82 on August 10th. He's my own personal Superman. :seasix: I'm hoping and praying for the best outcome. |

He was told under no circumstances should he get the vaccine. |
Sorry man, hope things go well for him.

Best of luck to him. You too. It's hard when parents get old.

Damn, sorry to hear this. Let's hope medical intervention will work for him.
Is stem cell transplant the same thing as bone marrow transplant? Would you be able to donate to your dad? If not, and he's needing a donor, pm me details about how to get tested. |

Keeping your dad in my thoughts and prayers

The best of, hoping treatments work.

Hoping for the best.

This disease does not have a very good prognosis. We are going to try to get him in a clinical study. The upside is that it is not placebo vs drug. It is historical treatment vs historical treatment plus an added drug.

Thoughts and prayers.
