Suzy, I am sure the people in the forum do not feel you are intruding. That
is what they are all here full. It is a wonderful forum that I am just now
becoming familiar with.
However, my mother was diagonosed with MM last August. It is true that a
high protien count is a syptom. But I am not sure on the enlarged stomach.
My mother had a lot of bone pain and also the key factor was anemia. She had
never been anemic before and within 4weeks she became severley anemic. MM is
a cancer of the bone marrow and the only real way to detect it is ofcourse a
bone marrow test. I will keep your mother in law in my thoughts. hope the
bone marrow test goes well and please feel free to contact me with any other
questions. Believe me I have been through it all will mm. Best wishes
Kathryn
