Want to talk about Multiple Myeloma: Anyone else?

Oh that’s awesome!! We have to be our own advocates and it’s ok to be pushy! It’s your health at stake. I call it being respectfully assertive. You can be pushy but be nice too!! 😂 My mom said, “You get more flies with honey than vinegar.” And that has stuck with me for many decades. But I find it helps get people on your side with a little more compassion and understanding! I hope all goes well at your appointment. Will you me know how it goes?

You are wonderful! I called my insurance again and hoping to get something soon!!! Glad you encouraged me to try again!!!

Push to get faster…

No and I hate to keep asking. Called insurance who said through physicians and only had old paperwork. Nothing current. No one called me but says 4-5 days for insurance part which might be up tomorrow or Friday.,had Mayo do it but perhaps would gmjave gone faster here but thought if done one the 3rd would be faster. Maybe not as my health care provider is here. Guess will as if he can check into it or facilitate. Again perhaps in my blush to get faster I slowed it down.

Oh nausea is nasty. I can empathize…had months of that. If I may offer a suggestion, try not to miss the appointment because of it. It’s really important you see the new doctor!
So, take a gallon ziplock baggie with a folded paper towel inside. Works as an emergency ‘catch all’ if you get my drift! You can put that in a nice tote or inside your purse. Just in case! And for now, a cool washcloth to the back of your neck can help. 🙂
Speak with your doctor about the prescription that is needed and see if they can expedite things. I’d be hounding my insurance provider at this point. Do you know if they’ve been contacted about your new med?

No word. Nothing. Very worried. Wish I had some better news. Thanks for the encouragement! Sadly I am nauseous today so hopefully can get to the appointment!!!

Good morning! I just wanted to wish you good luck with your appointment today! I hope this new clinic/doctor/team jumps on board with the latest treatment plan and gets you the help you need. Your second opinion at Mayo gave you hope for a new start in reaching remission and having the stem cell transplant. You are strong, so stay positive! You’ve got this! ☺️
Has your new prescription been filled yet?

I have to agree with Lori, @wyom1998. You look radiant. I thought I'd check in and see how you are doing? Sending good vibes.

Not your fault. You didn't know. It's what we pay our doctors for, medical advice, such as it is. There may be a reason for all this, above and beyond us we cannot see right now.

I am sure it will!!! Congratulations to you! So happy you were able to do it. Always best to be aggressive early as I am now learning! All the best!
