hi, my name is vicky and i have just come across your site this evening (christmas night) and found it very comforting to know that what i am feeling is normal after being diagnosed with mgus/igm paraprotein. I put the two because they haven't as yet finished all tests. As with many of you this was found due to routine blood tests because of a patch of feeling unwell. I have a a igm paraprotein which means if it were to develop into anything it would be waldenstroms. I am 45 years of age with 2 boys aged 5 and 9 and pray that this thing will not developinto anything more than it is now.
Its a strange feeling having this thing just hanging over you, yet i try to get on with my life as most of you say without thinking about it but on special days like today you just hope that you will be around for many more. anyway don't want to sound morbid as I am very happy and truly love life.
I think just a little scared at present as had my first bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow scan 2 weeks ago...still not heard as yet and hope the old saying no news good news rings true.
All stay positive and keep well happy xmas to you all.
god bless. vici xxx
