Disease treatable by zero-G

Background story: In near future (max 10 years from now) mega-rich person suffers yet unknown disease. He obviously employs every doctor possible and spends loads from his fortune on researching, what is wrong with them.

The scientists come up with some time-delaying solution: Such disease has little or almost no progress, if a patient is in microgravity (= very close to zero gravity). Our hero has now to decide. To die with 90% probability in one year, or, buy a ticket to ISS and stay here for some time and hope for the best. But he could be stuck there forever...

The question: Is such disease plausible? And ultimately, even if its on verge on implausibility, what symptoms should such disease have? How to make it more plausible?
