About This Book
Presented in diary format, ‘Beating Back AL Amyloidosis’ takes the reader through the changes in
Rachelle’s health as Light Chain Amyloidosis gradually manifested itself through symptoms until
overpowering nausea and breathlessness led her to Emergency.
It describes the steps leading to her diagnosis, her struggle to live a regular life while taking
chemotherapy and the way this insidious illness seemed to be fighting back as she was caught
between damage by the amyloidosis deposits and side effects of the treatment.
Lightened with her trademark sense of humour, the book is a combination of facts and anecdotes
about her journey to remission.
“I don’t believe AL Amyloidosis is as rare as they say it is, but I think it is not well known. This book is my contribution to awareness and a better understanding of this
condition,” she says.
