@donnado Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect? I’m so glad you found the group and that you want to join the virtual support group. You mentioned seeing a dermatologist tomorrow. Will you keep us informed? Can i ask what WM stands for?

WM is Waldenström macroglobulinemia, a type of cancer affecting two types of B cells: lymphoplasmacytic cells and plasma cells. Both cell types are white blood cells. WM is characterized by high levels of a circulating antibody, immunoglobulin M, which is made and secreted by the cells involved in the disease.
Another name for it is Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
