Dad's Amyloid Fight: June 2011
http://dadsamyloidfight.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Dad diagnosed with Primary AL Amyloidosis cardiac, kidney, GI involvment. Monday, June 6, 2011. Dad was not aware of the relationship of amyloidosis and agent orange, especially since he was stationed along the DMZ in Korea during the Vietnam War. We all thought that the agent orange exposure was linked to veterans who served directly in Vietnam and we were not even thinking along this avenue. We later found the link between systemic amyloidosis and agent orange a few weeks after dad died.

Dad's Amyloid Fight: Amyloidosis Primary Cardiac Multiple Organ Involvment
http://dadsamyloidfight.blogspot.com/2011/10/amyloidosis-primary-cardiac-multiple.html
Dad diagnosed with Primary AL Amyloidosis cardiac, kidney, GI involvment. Wednesday, October 5, 2011. Amyloidosis Primary Cardiac Multiple Organ Involvment. I am repeating myself regarding keeping track of blood labs. Many doctors are missing the diagnosis of Amyloidosis and I feel it is important to arm yourself with as much knowledge as you can. In other words, help. I guess my "platform" regarding this disorder is: Investigate - Educate - Assist. I completely endorse (for what that is worth! We all kn...

Dad's Amyloid Fight: March 2009
http://dadsamyloidfight.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Dad diagnosed with Primary AL Amyloidosis cardiac, kidney, GI involvment. Sunday, March 29, 2009. On Friday, I got a call from dad and he said "Guess what I did today! I had no idea - he said that he rode the quad. He was happy to be able to ride, which was not far but he rode in the yard and to get the mail. My brother was over dad's and decided to get dad out of the house. They started up dad's truck and took a little ride then started the quad and dad "took off". Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Hopefully t...

Dad's Amyloid Fight: May 2009
http://dadsamyloidfight.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Dad diagnosed with Primary AL Amyloidosis cardiac, kidney, GI involvment. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. As you can see, my dad is on a roller-coaster ride; as well as the rest of the family. I am relieved to say, dad has left the hospital that had placed him in "serious condition" and was transferred back to his hospital of choice,Allegheny General Hospital (AGH). The reason for the transfer is, he was on the Oncology floor at the other. Thank you all for your prayers! God bless all of you. Dad is not able to...

Dad's Amyloid Fight: Family Issues
http://dadsamyloidfight.blogspot.com/2011/05/family-issues.html
Dad diagnosed with Primary AL Amyloidosis cardiac, kidney, GI involvment. Thursday, May 5, 2011. To explain "betrayed" - admittedly, the marriage was loving and strong, so then how could she let herself become involved in another relationship. My God! Dad is not even gone from us that long.WOW! Ok, I then thought she is extremely lonely, but she did have her family and friends, AND ok, no intimate partner - she is desperately trying to recover some of the intimacy? May 23, 2011 at 7:27 PM.

Dad diagnosed with Primary AL Amyloidosis cardiac, kidney, GI involvment. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. I will never be able to hug him again, see his blue eyes, see the joy and pride in his eyes when he sees his granddaughters, hear him say my name, pick up the phone and ask him what he is doing, ask him questions about what is wrong with my car, buy him holiday gifts, cook him his favorite dinner, nor will I be able to just visit with him. I will forever love and miss my dad. Saturday, June 6, 2009. His al...

Dad's Amyloid Fight: April 2009
http://dadsamyloidfight.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Dad diagnosed with Primary AL Amyloidosis cardiac, kidney, GI involvment. Sunday, April 26, 2009. His legs are still swollen but not as bad as before he went into the hospital this time. The nurses gave him different compression socks and they tremendously helped his swelling. He said they were comfortable as well - the other ones he had were knee high, these are up to the thigh and don't "cut" him. Saturday, April 25, 2009. First, the CT scan results were in; good but the Doctors wanted to be completely...
