I Had A Mother Die From MM And I Was Diagnosed As Well. I Was Diagnosed Only After Being Exposed To High Levels Of Chemicals Year Half Later

Chemical were benzene and others. Well into the 100’s part per million. I wonder if that really caused my issue. Took yearly physical for years negative results always healthy. Just wondering.

Is Multiple Myeloma Hereditary? Read Article...

If I had to guess, I would guess the same as you. It all points to it being the cause. Have you filed a lawsuit?

Paula,
I will check out book. It takes years to develop at small parts per million but speeds up if exposure is high and exposed for hours per day for a couple of weeks. I’m 100% that caused my issue and I took a physical just a couple months before with no issues. Got allergy like issues days after exposure and only got worse and ended up MM year or so later.

Ron,
You were both probably exposed to something that triggered the change. I think it takes years to develop. I'm reading Dr Brandy's book "Beat Back Cancer Naturally". It has opened my eyes to new information. I did not know that my high LDL cholesterol was feeding the cancer.
