Title: Beating Back AL Amyloidosis
Description: 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.
