Like your husband, I was diagnosed with Wm this past March. I experience the tingling and numbness in my hands and arms with progressive fatigue. I’m in the ‘wait and see’ phase. Like your husband, part of my diagnosis included a bone marrow biopsy. Your husband and I share the active live well, biking, walking, swimming, and the gym; I’m finding normal physical activity like doing gardening is becoming more challenging. How much of this is Wm or my aging? I appreciate you sharing your husband’s situation. One of my greatest fears is burdening others with my care as things progress. You are obviously a great help and support for your husband. My oncologist is hopeful advanced treatments will be found soon. Let’s hope he is right.
