Maybe you thought I was playing a joke when I posted my first chat so I send a second one trying to explain it in not so many words.

I have been doing some further research and it does not look good for my uncle. The mini stroke, in my own words might be myeloma because of his symtoms and my aunt told be the brain scan had the lesions on the skull I guess thoses might be the lytic lesions.

Is the cancer in the white & Red cells or in the bone marrow? I'm just so confused and it's very sad. I hope they do some more tests andfind out they were wrong.

I had seen that 8 people looked at my previous posts so thank you for reading them I'm sorry that nobody replyed.

Take care and god bless everybody that is suffering with this,

Sammy is in the bone marrow and is a part of the white blood cells.  There is alot of good information on the internet.  I have learned so much online. 

Sorry to hear about your uncle.  Don't give up.

 

Sincerely,

drcla

It is a plasma cell cancer..a type of white blood cell that makes antibodies.

one type usually of an antibody does not die and then clones itself pushing out all the other antibodies thus we are susceptible to infection etc.

i hope that helps somewhat and there are alot of sites online about myeloma that would help you also though they can be scary and hard sometimes to understand.

Good luck and God Bless
