Heart Like Cement
This is a non-fiction book that tells how I beat an incurable, terminal disease known as amyloidosis. Amyloidosis turned my heart, literally and figuratively, into cement. It is the medical autobiography of the world’s longest surviving cardiac amyloidosis patient.
When I was diagnosed in 1994, amyloidosis was a rare, progressive, absolutely terminal disease. Most patients died within a year of diagnosis. Regression was unknown. That’s what I read and was told by doctors. There was no hope and no encouragement.
Dying is not a pleasant subject. I avoided thinking about death until it kicked in my door. I found a way to get off the floor and fight back.
