Interview #261: Robert Jordan’s Blog: A TOUCH OF THIS AND THAT BEFORE THE MAYO, Entry #2

Robert Jordan

For Sidious, thanks very much for posting the overview of amyloidosis, but after conferring with my hematologist, I have to disagree with you on one point. You say that amyloidosis cannot be stopped, but it can be. The treatments have altered and progressed tremendously in the past ten years, and even in the last five. The best result obtainable would be a total remission, a complete cessation of amyloid production. But even a sufficient decrease in production can lead eventually to a decrease of the quantity of amyloids deposited in my heart. There are a lot of quirks in this thing, it seems. As an example of just how atypical amyloidosis can be, I offer this link to a survivor’s story: http://www.amyloidos…ry.asp?story=32 [broken link]

Amyloidosis offers very peculiar symptoms, and very peculiar responses to treatment.
