Frances, sorry about your lost. Was amyloidosis the cause of death? As I said my mother had multiple myeloma, finally her heart gave out.

Amyloidos is hereditary in my family also I lost my mum and brother to the disease so the specialist knew what type to look for when my test was positive they done a nuclear s can to check the damage and also a nerve test I have it in the nerves and heart also had a colonoscopy and it's in my bowel so I know it's there but it's probably in other organs too
