No, Amyloidosis is a protein/antibody problem that attacks the organs, If you're strong enough bone marrow transplant and chemotherapy can treat it and add a few years of life but I haven't heard of a complete cure, a buddy of mines uncle died from it or at least died from going threw the treatment. It was under a year for him from diagnosis but Gino is most likely fairly strong so he may hold out and hopefully someone finds a cure in a couple of years.
