The diagnosis of Anemia made me feel that at least I had a reason for feeling tired since summer. I had been feeling fatigued since late July and now I had a cause. However, the cause turned out to be a symptom of something worse. I just never figured that I'd be a cancer patient. I do plan on being a cancer survivor, though.
The first time I saw my Oncologist, Dr. Rowland Mbaoma (pronounced "Boama") he surmised I had MM, but I let the name go in one ear and out the other. He sent me to a Gynecologist to make sure everything was okay in that area, and it was.
I have been reading up on the disease but Dr. Mbaoma urges caution on the Internet information. Besides the MMF http://www.multiplemyeloma.org/ , People Living With Cancer http://www.plwc.org/portal/site/PLWC , and the American Cancer Society http://www.cancer.org/docroot/HOME/pff/pff_0.asp ,
I will be careful of the information I read.
I have started to tell extended family and close friends. People at work will find out on Monday when I go in.
