Roy Dale‘s annual physical showed excessive protein in his urine. After a kidney biopsy, he was diagnosed with amyloidosis, a rare blood disorder that occurs when antibody-producing cells don’t function properly and produce abnormal protein fibers called amyloids. The condition impacted his kidney function.
Roy receives chemotherapy weekly at Crisp Regional. He arrives early to eat breakfast in the hospital cafeteria, and his wife bakes homemade treats for the staff in radiology, the lab, and chemotherapy every week. “I’ve been very impressed with the compassion and skill of those who provide my care at Crisp Regional,” Roy said. “The oncology nurses are truly good and caring people.”
Roy is preparing for a stem cell transplant at Moffitt Cancer Center in January. He looks forward to returning to Cordele and Crisp Regional for follow-up care and anticipates his return to “normal” in four to six months.
