AL (primary) amyloidosis can be systemic (throughout the whole body) and can affect organs like heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system and digestive tract. Treatments may include chemotherapy with strong drugs used to treat cancer. Other types of medications can reduce amyloid production and control symptoms. Some people may benefit from organ or stem cell transplants.

What treatment options are being suggested for your husband?
