I caught a bad virus which went on and on and then developed a bacterial infection in my lungs and was taken into hospital on the twelth day of my illness as i was deteriorating and in great pain in my back, hips knee,legs and feet.After routine blood tests and being in isolation for three days ,they did a myeloma scan as I had a high level of globulin in my blood (40) and urine samples.
I was discharged on the third day having had a chest xray which showed a cloudy patch bottom of right lung.Went to doctor a week later and was told that the first blood test he had recieved were not good and he had been instructed to chase up the myeloma scan.This was the monday,and on the thursday evening he phoned to say he had more results and that I has myeloma and he was going to arrange a bone marrow scan,which is next monday 25th January.How long do the results usually take to come back for a myeloma scan?The virus I had has now gone and I have another chest xray booked for 8th February but I have been told I am anaemic although I eat lots of greens and take a multi vitamin and mineral supplement which contains iron,I am left with bone aches in my feet,legs,hips and back.The waiting is the worst but I am hoping I have a mild form,but wonder how long the results will take from having the biopsy?I am 71 years old.I always put the pains down to old age or over doing the gardening etc.
