@jstpeachy Thank you in advanced for including my husband in your prayers warriors. I will do the same for you too. My husband needs to go back to Jacksonville Mayo Clinic in 2 wks because his Hematologist wants to be sure which type of Amyloid he has. As I said before he was diagnosed with Cardiac Amyloidosis, -TTR- and for it he is taking Vyndamax. His doctor told him that he needs to make more diagnostic tests to find out if he has the AL Amyloidosis which if found, then he would start with chemo. Also they want to make sure my husband doesn’t have the Amyloid in his kidneys. As of today his physicians don’t want to give him chemo until these final reports. We keep praying for a miracle and that it doesn’t get complicated. Prayers are powerful. By the way did you have a lot of side effects with the chemo? My concern is that my husband has Right Heart Failure caused by the Cardiac Amyloidosis and he is 80 yrs old.

The only side effect I had from the chemo was diarrhea and then the after curser of that. I was pretty fortunate, (didn’t think so at the time, lol). With any luck at all he won’t have to have it, we’ll pray for that and a much better outcome🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
