Appointment with my oncologist/hematologist yesterday. Oh, that I were 40 years younger...and single!!!
She needs more tests, of course. More blood, more urine, and a full body X-ray to see if there any holes in my bones (that's one of the things that myeloma causes.) Did find out that, in the initial tests ordered by the nephrologist, myeloma was detected in the urine, but not in the blood. Is that good? Not necessarily. That it was detected at all is not good! But I'm hopeful.
She may, eventually, do a bone marrow biopsy...that's where myeloma originates...but that all depends on these latest tests. Won't know anything about that until the 26th of this month.
No word yet on the CT scan of the kidneys I had on Monday. I hope the nephrologist doesn't wait a month like he did with the sonogram! I'll probably bug him this week or next.
It's the damned waiting that's getting to me!
