“My Father’s Diagnosis Solved My Own Health Puzzle”
Giselle was always a daddy’s girl. An only child, she took after her father in every way. When he reached his senior years and started having serious health issues, she became his primary caregiver.
One day, the 56-year-old Chicago native noticed that her father’s feet were severely swollen. When he admitted they’d been that way for over a year, Giselle was baffled. “I immediately took him to the cardiologist who ordered multiple tests, but it took another two years before he received a diagnosis of hATTR amyloidosis,” she says. “This is when the doctor also explained the condition and that the ‘h’ stood for hereditary. I was shocked.”
