So I went to the hematologist for the first time. I was so freaked out and scared going into that office for the first time. All of the thoughts and fears of being part of the "those with cancer" group were coursing through my body. I wanted to cry as I walked in and saw all elderly patients. Since I really have no outward signs that I am sick, I didn't feel like I belonged there.
The doctor reviewed my results and started to explain what I could have. I only liked one of the options. Most were blood cancers but one was called MGUS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance) which in English means "you have this high level of protein but we don't know why and we don't think it will cause you problems."
I wanted the MGUS option and set out to pray, affirm, and set my mind to the fact that this would be my diagnosis. I had about 8 vials of blood drawn, full body x-rays to look for bone lesions, and scheduled a bone marrow biopsy (i will explain the marrow journey in a future blog--there are ways to have this not be so painful).
The test results were pretty good. It wasn't MGUS but it wasn't fully Multiple Myeloma either. I was in-between in a stage called Smouldering Myeloma, a pre-cancer stage.
Multiple Myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the plasma type of white blood cells. Myeloma cells tend to collect in the bone marrow and in the hard, outer part of bones. Sometimes they collect in only one bone and form a single mass, or tumor, called a plasmacytoma. In most cases, however, the myeloma cells collect in many bones, often forming many tumors and causing other problems. When this happens, the disease is called multiple myeloma.
I drove home from the Hematologist's office wondering why I couldn't have contracted a cancer that could would form a tumor and be removable. How come I had to get the type of cancer that is incurable and inoperable?
