Hi I just want to introduce myself. I have myeloma which thankfully it is in remission just now but I was still getting treatment. The treatment caused me to have chronic fatigue. My consultant decided to reduce my chemo dosage and only take steroids on day of treatment. This seemed to be working okay.
However. I had a couple of really bad doses of diarrhoea and tummy pains, not too bad mostly niggles. My daughter thought I should talk to someone about this so I phoned my myeloma nurse. She said that I should come into hospital to some tests. I had an x-ray but doctor wasn’t happy with that and wanted me to have a scan. Unfortunately the scan showed that I had two tumours, one in my stomach and one in my bowel. The doctor arranged for me to have an urgent colonoscopy. There was no tumour found.. well a benign one and he took quite a few samples for biopsies. I have not had the results of that yet. My consultant phoned me when I got home. I was a bit confused as to why they said there was a tumour in my bowel. Anyway, he said the tumours on the wall of my stomach were a real concern. He said it was a secondary but they didn’t know where the primary was. I am to have a scan on Monday on my chest to see if anything shows up there. Also I have to see a gynae team so just waiting for that appointment. My Myeloma treatment has stopped while they deal with the other problem.
Has anyone had anything like this.
