@cehunt57 Well, thank you very kindly. We do have issues in common, yeppers. My chemo is for multiple myeloma. I was diagnosed in 2019 with SMM [smoldering multiple myeloma] and was on a wait-and-watch regimen, until it morphed into an active status this year. We are going with a verrry gentle dose right now because my kidneys are at 18%, and we don't want to tank them.
Be gentle on yourself, and Monday you will be feeling so much better. It's a blessing to have Connect folks that we think about!

@gingerw I do not know what SMM is and will have to look it up. I do know it is a type of cancer and has resulted in you undergoing chemo. In another discussion I believe I read that it interferes with your search for a living kidney donor for your kidney situation. My hopes and prayers for you is that the chemo helps the SMM and doesn’t tank your kidneys. I believe that if a kidney transplant is in our futures it will happen in God’s timing and in His way. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you give to others. It is Monday and I believe I’m back to normal.

@gingerw I never heard of SMM before. How did they diagnose it? Is there something in your blood work that indicated a potential problem?
