Wish I could tell you something. We are still awaiting all the test results and what treatment my queen will need to do.
Keep on your Doctor.
They don't always see the whole picture either.
Trust your body and what it tells you.
Hopefully you get the answers you need.
Godspeed

I know this is not an answer but a question what type of Amyloidosis do you have?Looks like some Drs don't seem to care.

If you’re not happy with what you’re hearing from your doctor find another one! You need a doctor who is going to be aggressive enough to stop the amyloid in its tracks!
