I read on the fightmyeloma.org FAQ that yes, it can move to the lungs, but typically that's in cases of advanced disease.  If your mom has been doing well, I doubt it's MM related.

Best to you....it's been a long time since we've heard from you

Hi Yana,

Are they going to do further tests for confirmation of infection? Usually, the white count is elevated with an infection. 

Please let us know what the results are.

Take care,

Lois
