Trust but verify, independently

Every time I read something I say to myself I have that is it because I'm old or because of mm ? Not anything my cancer doc talks about
They only care about the mm and other docs don't really care or can't relate it to side effects of mm or it's treatment

Jessica, it could be related to myeloma or it could be something else entirely. You will have to let your doctors know and get a full evaluation. I have GI issues from time to time. It's hard to tell whats going on with all the medications we have to take. I'm due for a colonoscopy this year. I think I will ask about getting a upper GI scope at the same time. So, make sure you mention it to your doctor. 🥰

I had pain left and right under my ribs. My doctor didn't say any things about it. I had Kidney stones. I was miserable.

I’ve had pain under my bottom left rib since 2022 or sooner. I have a kidney stone on the left, but this pain feels like it is in the front. I have IgA Kappa. No notes about it on my PET scan, but lots of places lit up. I definitely have had gastro issues and it’s not from treatment because I haven’t had any yet. Maybe it is my stomach? Pancrease?
