I was diagnosed with stage 3 mulitple myloma June last year and Nov of last year had stem cell transplant and am now in remission. I am curious if anyone else has had this experience?

I was told because of my low immunity that this would happen. My numbers are good except for my gammagobulins....wonder if that is affecting me.

Ruby2 I too have what feels like a lump or maybe mucus in my throat, been there since before I got diagnosed 4 months ago. It is more of a bother than anything, once in a while it effects my breathing slightly and even changes my voice. But for the most part just is there all the time causing no other symptoms. Finally mentioned it to a nurse at treatment last week, first thing she said is infection but my numbers did not reflect that. Never had a fever, she will pass it on to my Dr.

Thanks for your response. It is hard to know how to handle some things or where I need to go or do.

Wow! I'm 25 days from having my CR T/ BMT. I am having this tightness with what feels like a lump in my throat. It comes and goes. I never equated it to MM. I did tell the Dr about it but they didn't say anything about it. So I'm just left to deal with it. So now I know. I pray we all get better soon.

Thank you for your insight. I am assuming you are on dexamethasone. I am on Velcade every other week. I am probably going to have to hit the OTC heavier.
