Bone marrow transplants, also known as stem cell transplants, can be an effective treatment for AL amyloidosis, but they are not suitable for everyone, especially in advanced stages or for older individuals. Here are some key points from my knowledge base:

- Effectiveness: Stem cell transplants can help reduce amyloid protein production and improve symptoms.
- Eligibility: Not all individuals, particularly those with widespread amyloid deposits or significant organ damage, are suitable candidates.
- Age Consideration: At age 64, the decision depends on overall health and specific medical conditions.

Consult with your healthcare team to determine the best treatment plan.
