You’ve certainly had a lot to deal with medically over a short period of time. It’s always hard to tell if symptoms are related to MGUS or to coexisting health problems. With A prostatectomy, there are hormonal changes and 75% of the men who have had the surgery get what I relate to as hot flashes. Go figure. https://www.cancer.net/coping-with-cancer/physical-emotional-and-social-effects-cancer/managing-physical-side-effects/hormone-deprivation-symptoms-men#:~:text=Up%20to%2075%25%20of%20men,as%20gabapentin%20(Gralise%2C%20Neurontin)
But we also know that night sweats can be associated with hematological cancers. So how does one know?
I’m sorry that your hematologist/oncologist is leaving. I always encourage people to find a hem/onc expert who is very experienced with multiple myeloma. There may be a local teaching hospital or cancer treatment facility close to you. That would be a good resource. I looked for someone who takes, his or her time with me and answers all my questions. I want to be on the same page in terms of being as proactive as possible with my MGUS. We don’t have cancer with MGUS, and the statistics are in our favor that we will die of something unrelated, but we do have the potential.
Where will you start your search for another treating physician?
