Stanford Amyloid Center: Kevin Anderson's story

In 2006, Kevin Anderson, MD, began to notice some subtle physical changes in his health. He would often ride his bike 12 miles to work, but started to have difficulty with the endurance ride up hills. Even more significant was his almost two-year battle to climb the stairs from the hospital lobby to the operating room where he practiced. After about a year and a half without a diagnosis, in 2008 Dr. Anderson heard the word amyloidosis for the first time.
