Hi my name is William Kelly I don’t have any answers but I can tell you my story.I was 45 in 2009 when I was diagnosed with Waldenstrom. It was through a blood test after I had shortness of breath. Then a bone marrow biopsy to confirm the bloodwork. It was a very scary time I didn’t know what to expect. I went through a lot of anxiety not knowing what was next. My first chemo was cytoxon oral. And rituxumab intervenes. After my treatment I went into remission for 14 years just yearly dr appt. Then my igm jumped up to 5500 very quickly. In 2022 I had another round of chemo with bendka rituxamab. Bendeka for me was a miracle drug it put all my blood counts in the normal range. And here I am still kicking. I never let this cancer define who I am. Just a bump in the road that the Good Lord put there for a reason. There are a lot of advancements in drugs to treat this cancer so hang in there and keep your head held high. God loves you and you will get through it.
