Does anyone know if there is a Class Action lawsuit in the works related to Multiple Mylomia, and OTC Male Enhancement supplements which many have been proven to contain generic Viagra?

I think we all have to be very cautious here about spreading any rumors that could be considered disinformation. Unless somebody can point me to peer reviewed medical articles of studies that show any correlation between taking male enhancement pills as a causation for multiple myeloma I would consider it highly unlikely.

If the medical community had any serious reasons to believe, it might be a causation, you can bet that place is like the Mayo Clinic and other places where they do huge amounts of research, would have published numerous papers about it by now, and oncologists would be warning their patients!

I have to really question that one and see some peer-reviewed articles before I believe it. Viagra was (and is) actually a cardiac medication used on premature babies in the NICU. Doctors and nurses noticed that male preemies consistently had erections, which led to investigations, which led to studies, and now we have the famous erectile dysfunction drug!! So I would take any information with a grain of salt unless you are reading professional journals.

I watch most of the latest Webinars on myeloma. I have never heard of this. They don't know what causes myeloma.

I have high hopes that the new administration makes getting that stuff out of our food a high priority. I read the other day that Fruit Loops in Canada have 3 in ingredients while ours has 19. I also read that McDonald's food in Europe is totally different than what's served here. Keep your fingers crossed 🀞. Blessings!

want to share a little update about my journey. Recently I went for a CT scan of my lungs, and today the doctor explained the results to me. They found some changes in my left lung compared to before. There are areas where the lung lining looks thicker, and a small mass in the lower part of the left lung has grown a bit since my last scan. Because of these changes, the doctors want to do another test called a bronchoscopy, where they use a small camera to look inside the airways and take samples to understand it better. Hearing all this was not easy for me. It made me emotional because it feels like one thing after another. But at the same time, I am thankful that I am already under medical care and the doctors are taking steps to find out exactly what
