Baltazar, exercise like walking a little more each day does help fatigue. I was even more fatigued during the initial treatment for this disease. I was also short of breath. It usually gets better once they get her myeloma under good control.

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
