Newly diagnosed with “Thick Blood”. Should I be concerned?

My husband has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and so many of the symptoms are similar to yours. Please follow up with an oncologist. They will be happy to dismiss you if it is not a cancer diagnosis. Wish you well.

@pghparrothead thank you for this helpful suggestion. I have wondered about this but don’t know enough, so the threads will be helpful reads as well. I am meeting with a hematologist in January who reviewed my recent lab work and has asked me to come in to discuss his observations. I am eager to hear what he has to say. If that is a dead end, I will pursue an oncology referral. I am grateful to the other patients, family members, and moderators on Connect for the way they offer their wisdom and personal experience to the benefit of others. Thank you!

@pghparrothead, welcome. You're advice to @faithgirl30 is wise. "They will be happy to dismiss you if it is not a cancer diagnosis."
