Sneaky and full of surprises are excellent descriptors for MM!
Language can help us understand and cope with the diseases we are helping our bodies conquer!
I am currently being tested (blood tests) for this rate cancer. I am often tired, winded, and depressed. But, I attribute it to being old and overweight, and have plenty of stress. At this point, blood tests have not confirmed anything. I have sores on my legs (and get them when I get bruised). They never get better and keep getting bigger. My Dermatologist diagnosed me with Necrosis Lipocadia (not sure I spelled it right). I now have one in my ear ( ( (which she has never seen before), which is why I went to Mayo. They did see some nodules in my lung (I am waiting for a CT scan), and found that I have a twisted & calcified aorta (sounds scary). Prayers & hugs to all.
