Lady T,
I don’t know the answer to your question, but since you obviously have several questions that you need and deserve answers to, my suggestion is for you to call your oncologist and request a consultation appointment with him or her. That’s the one person who knows your diagnosis and treatment plan the best!

I’d also make sure I had a journal with me with all of my questions all written out ahead of time.
Then be sure to take good notes and ask all of the questions that specifically pertain to you and your diagnosis.

It’s not easy trying to understand everything you are going through. With so many tests that they need to do to help diagnose you, it’s a lot to digest and remember.

I take a journal with me to every single appointment I have., rather it be with my oncologist or her PA. I track my weight, BP, heart rate and temperature at every visit.
I also have all of my questions or concerns or any new symptom information I want to share with my doctor already written out ahead of time in my journal.

I take notes of everything we talk about, plus she gives me a print out of all of my bloodwork results from that day’s visit. When I leave I feel like all of my questions or concerns have been addressed. If I don’t understand something, I ask her to explain it differently so I can understand it better, and she does!
I will pray that you get the answers you need from your oncologist for all of your tests.

It’s so important to be able to understand what you are going through, so don’t be afraid to keep asking until you understand it! Good Luck Lady T! I truly hope you get all of your questions answered!
Don’t get upset after reading a test result until you have had a chance to speak to your oncologist about it. We’re all here to support you! Stay Strong, as you’ve got this!!!!

I’m not a doctor but I believe this indicates a small lesion on between your L2 & L3 vertebrae. I had similar on my T2 vertebrae. The stem cell transplant removed it in my case. Get a good local oncologist and the very best MM specialist on your team. Always go to a hospital that specializes in cancer and better yet MM. Depends where you live there are several very good ones

Lady T, I can’t answer your question but I will tell you what my doctor told me. It was my first appointment after diagnosis, and was during Covid so I couldn’t have my husband with me. At the end of the appointment he asked me if I had any questions and I told him I didn’t know enough to ask questions, his reply, it won’t take long and you will be able to write a book about multiple myeloma. He’s right I know more now but not enough yet for the book.
Keep asking questions, others learn from the answers also. I wish lots of luck as you navigate this journey!

Thank you so much Mrs Patty and i will take your advice and do just that

Hello Robert thank you so much
