hi tammy and michelle
i was diagnosed june of 2007 at the age of 49 with IGg lambda mgus. even though i know the possibility of it turning into multiple myeloma is small...i still get concerned at times.
during the time of my diagnosis it was discovered that i also have two nodules within my thyroid (small) & a renal mass. initially it was thought that the renal mass was a cyst. but after a six month check up via ultra sound the cyst was ruled out and now that it has grown in size it is believed to be a mass. had a mri and will see the dr this thursday for a better diagnosis. it is situations like this that often make me wonder if all of these "things" are indeed connected.
i remain prayerful and hopefu. i have come to realize that stress only increases my symptoms (tiredness, confusion, etc). so i am trying to practice good physical, mental, and emotional health in an attempt to live.
this is the first time that i have been able to really express how i feel. thank you for letting me talk.
