Sharing My Journey: Newly Diagnosed & First Cycle
AI-generated title
Hi. Just joined in. 66 years old. June 2024, numbers started looking high after blood testing. Then my gallbladder got infected and removed. Complications with bleed, added stent and recovered into the year. January 2025 more blood work with concerning rising numbers. Made oncologist visit, had blood marrow biopsy and PET scan. Biopsy showed 70% cancerous cells, 40% platelets. PET showed no bone issues, blessed. I'm IGG, light chain. No symptoms or pain. Just finished 1 cycle of 4 quad treatment, with very mild side effects. Today just 1 stomach med injections, broke out in small rash on abdomen, not itchy. Little concerned. I have a week off of 4 quads and then start cycle 2 on July 21. Have a great team at NHO in Nebraska and will head to NE Med for ASCT in fall if all goes well. So glad to find a site that I can compare to, all so new to me, as you can all imagine. My family is amazing, so I feel very positive and blessed to warrior thru this. Thanks. Sue
