Good advice. I have that appointment in April. This doctor is the head guy in the USA for the disorder and, if necessary, multiple myeloma. I have heard that if I got cancer this guy has actually been shown to extend life longer than average. So I feel like if he gets me from the start I could have good luck.
One of my greatest regrets with my mom is that we took her to the local hospital when she got sick and then the local hospital did NOT help us get her into the world renowned hospital right down the street. They wouldn't help us transfer her or anything. Won't do that again.
I get some tests back today (I think) that should tell me if I have the type of this that will develop into Multiple Myeloma or Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. I am hoping for the non-hodgkins as that has a pretty darn good survival rate. Something like 70% over 5 years and 62% over 10. MM is more like 50% over 5 years and they don't talk about 10 so -- that can't be good.
The back was bothering me last night but overall it has been much better since ending fasting. I am hoping that it just needs some time to recover.
I still am hopeful this all was due to the fasting and suppression of the immune system. I was reading last night that one of the ways they fight MM is to try to stimulate the immune system. Well maybe I have the opportunity to do that on my own.
Thanks to everyone for responding. Real life people haven't been half so helpful.
