AMYLOIDOSIS RESEARCH CONSORTIUM
The night before his world changed, everything seemed fine. It was 2006, and Suri Harish was celebrating his son’s birthday. There was lasagna, red wine, and the warmth of family, but later that night the celebration ended in illness. When his wife saw him throw up blood, she knew something was wrong, but Suri brushed it off. “It’s just the wine,” he insisted. “What else could it be?”
Due to persistent back pain, Suri visited his chiropractor in the morning, but his wife insisted on a visit to his primary care physician. Within days, a biopsy confirmed AL (Light Chain) amyloidosis. Within weeks, a specialist delivered a second blow: Suri also had multiple myeloma, later diagnosed as AL Amyloidosis with associated multiple myeloma.
