Hello,
I have been at this site for a couple of years at the multiple myeloma discussion group. I don't have myeloma, just monoclonal gammopathy. I have also ACQUIRED von willebrand, A bleeding disorder. I have many different symptoms and have not had much help with the medical industry. I was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago. I have had lung problems and would like some info on pleural cancers. As part of my BASIC workup (2006) there was bilateral apical pleuraLthickening noted. I was not told of this finding. I only learned of this after getting my records from this bad doctor. I have breathing problems, severe sweating episodes, night sweats, chest pain, right shoulder, right scapula pain, breast pain and low grade fevers. I don't have good insurance so I have not be able to afford any more doctor visits. I did have a x-ray again in March, they did not mention anything then, but I continue to have symptoms. Does any of these symptoms seem like a form of lung cancer? How hard is it to detect apical cancer?
Thanks so much!
Majolica
