[quote=Anonymous]My husband was diagnosed about two years ago with cardiac amyloidosis--meaning that he's in heart failure, and may be a candidate for a transplant at some future point as his disease progresses. One thing that was important to our 22-year-old was to hear our commitment to be open and communicative about everything that's going on with him medically. It was surprising how much that allayed her fears. But in retrospect, it makes sense: with so much that is uncertain, the assurance that nothing will be kept from her took one worry off the table. Best wishes for strength and peace.[/quote]
