1-877-AMYLOID
People with Amyloidosis, cancer and other serious diseases react differently to treatments and the diseases themselves. This is a chronicle of experiences from one patient with renal involvement, some of which may be common to everyone and some of which will not be. As
you will see, he came through the chemotherapy at the hospital pretty easily in comparison to others and his recovery time was quite short. However, as you will also see, the chemotherapy didn’t cure him so the chronicle will also deal with my reaction to the second part of the
protocol; a thalidomide/dexamethasone regimen. Here’s the story which began in the summer of 2004 and his first edition in March, 2005 with additions to come. The chronicle includes details on the evaluation at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, some things for caregivers, diet, the treatment
process, and recovery. You can check for updates at www.utc.edu/Faculty/Daniel-Baker/amyloidosis/. To read his story, click here. |
