Hello. I had A great discussion with my rheumatologist regarding the MG US, etc. I asked him to be Frank answering my questions and he was. He explained there is a relationship between autoimmune diseases and Multiple myeloma. Folks with an auto immune disease understand that your body is not able to fight infection, etc. as well as someone that does not have an auto immune disease. Our bodies also fight cancer cells and when you have an auto immune disease, your body cannot fight those cancer cells as well as someone without an auto immune disease. It was kind of like which came first the chicken or the egg? He confirmed that my other health conditions definitely increase my odds of getting MM. So for those that are not suffering from other chronic illnesses, you should be OK. He told me not to worry that he is watching me very closely and will be doing many blood tests going forward. He’s a wonderful doctor and extremely caring human being. I feel blessed to have him as my doctor. I also saw my PCP Who is also wonderful, wonderful and extremely caring. (Aren’t I so lucky). After reviewing the cancer test, the first thing he said was we need to find you a new hematologist. He wasn’t happy with the once a year blood check and said he would also be keeping a close eye on me and my other conditions. I feel so much better, I have at least two wonderful doctors who care enough to go beyond their own scope of work to make sure everything is being done to help me. I trust both of them like family. Sorry this is so long, but I Really needed to get it off my chest. Thank you all for listening.
