Hello everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I found out I had a solitary plasmacytoma in my right hip in 2009 & had radiation. I was fine until 2014 when they found another spot in my rightt iliac bone. I had more radiation.

Now they have found a few spots on my spine. My counts are still going down, they have never really been high to begin with. Doctor said when pain stars to increase or numbers start to rise I will need to start chemo & go see a stem cell transplant doctor.

So, needless to say, I have been reading everyone's posts on the forums, trying to learn all I can & scaring myself to pieces. Thanks for sharing all of your experiences & your knowledge with the rest of us. Stay strong & healthy.
