In this episode, our guest, Jenelle Murphy, is here to talk about her experience advocating for her father, Albert Sanders, who unfortunately had a long journey with ATTR wild-type amyloidosis. Throughout his life he had more than 20 major surgeries, some of them caused by amyloidosis, but it wasn’t until he was 65 that he was appropriately diagnosed. Leading up to his diagnosis he started having cardiac symptoms and Jenelle had to advocate for him throughout his journey to make sure he received the best, safest care. This personal story really shows how powerful and important advocating for yourself, your loved ones, or a friend really is. For an overview of amyloidosis, please see episode 2 (for clinicians) or episode 3 (for patients).
