Matt Millen Fights For His Life: ‘It’s Getting Late. We Need a Big Stop’
Millen’s down around 50 pounds in the past year, chasing a cure for a disease called amyloidosis that is particularly evil. He needs debilitating chemotherapy now to fight amyloid, a rogue protein that attacks organs (his heart, in this case). Because the amyloid is attacking his heart, he’ll eventually need a heart transplant to have a chance to live many more years.
It took doctors almost as long as his ill-fated NFL executive career lasted to find out he had Amyloidosis. He traveled to New York, to Los Angeles, to Rochester, Minn., to Philadelphia, to Chicago, with multiple doctors seen in a couple of those cities, before finally finding out this truth from a doctor in Jacksonville a year ago.
