Hello Jack-
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. I am sorry and relate with your feelings about this. My muscle weakness and loss of balance cause me so much frustration. The other symptoms are just as bad. I agree nobody will ever convince me it’s not from the treatment and the lymphoma. My doctor is good at dismissing the symptoms and acts like it’s something he’s never heard. I am a completely different person. Sending you many positive thoughts. Stay strong Take care-

hi Ruth
i have had Waldenstrom's for 15 years. I have had different treatments. Now, i have a three inch tumor on my pelvis.My doctor is shrinking it with jaypirca 2 100 mg tabs once a day. A few mounths ago i could barely walk. the other day, i walked over a mile. I mailed a letter. I went grocery shopping. I am fortunate, if that is possible, to live in Mass. I go to Dana Farber in Boston, MA I know people say it, but my hospital is the best in the WORLD for treating WM. Have your doctor get in touch with them. They are great. They will help
