While working overseas, Al Boykin began experiencing symptoms he couldn’t ignore. After returning to the United States, he eventually received a life-changing diagnosis: cardiac amyloidosis, a rare disease sometimes called “stiff heart syndrome.”
His journey would take him to Johns Hopkins, where doctors eventually told him something no patient expects to hear — he could not leave the hospital.
Then came the wait.
Thirty days later, Al received the gift that saved his life: a new heart.
Hear Al’s powerful story of fear, faith, family, gratitude, and a second chance at life on Episode 117 of Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast.
