About this listen

What if you’re a caregiver for one of your parents as they live with the symptoms of a devastating disease - hereditary amyloidosis? You have to watch them deteriorate, see their life become more difficult, and you knew that at the time there were no treatments available. You dig in to do your research and discover that amyloidosis goes back at least 5 generations in your family. In addition, research reveals future generations, including yourself and your children, have a 50/50 chance of testing positive. The good news is there are now treatments available to slow the progression of the disease. For an overview of amyloidosis, please see episode 2 (for clinicians) or episode 3 (for patients).
