Hi-great to get your feedback. Sounds like your in about the same boat as me. I just talked to the oncologist today as I had MRI done last week. It does not show any lesions-just osteo. So I am thankful for that. At first he said if my IGG got over 3000 I would need treatment. That happened about a year and half ago. So he consulted with a doctor at the Mayo clinic-and the Mayo doctor told him since I am doing well clinically (I feel good-some anemia, kidneys are good, etc. ) that he wants to hold off any treatment. So -that is where I am at. It is nerve racking-I agree-especially if a new symptom pops up and you think-is this something I should tell my doc or not. But-since I feel pretty good-I am thankful. I cope by trying to stay positive and look at how well I am doing. This is so nice-being able to talk back and forth with someone who can understand and is going thru similar problem. Let's keep in touch . I had the once a year med for the bones-IV-can't think of the name right off hand. Thanks for your reply.
