Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia: What to expect during watch & wait?

I was diagnosed with Waldenstroms a year ago. Is shortness of breath a common symptom? It happens upon the slightest exertion during the day, and often in the middle of the night when I am lying down and suddenly wake up gulping for air.

It was for me. Since treatment, I am much better. When I had more hyper-viscosity I was out of breath often, upon exertion.

My daughter has WM and is on 3 chemo drugs. It's been less then a year for her. She sees her Dr's once a week. Her iron is low which is causing her to be anemic, which makes her tired when she over exers. Have you had your blood levels checked lately? If you get an answer on why this is happening to you, will you post it? Thank you.
