My symptoms were quite varied. I have severe bone pain associated with the sternum (except I didn't know that was bone pain). It was often excruciating but I felt it very difficult to describe. It was painful just to touch my chest area let alone apply light pressure. I also had muscular pain in my back, neck and shoulders. I found…[Read more]

I was diagnosed woth solitary bony plasmacytoma in my sternum in May 2011. I had steroids and 5 wks of radiotherapy. Following treatment there was no paraprotein trace but I still had high serum free kappa light chains.

How are things going with you? Is you appetite any better?

At the moment I am having blood tests every couple of months, my kappa light chains have decreased but are still present, and I had an MRI at the end of Sept when they suspected the fracture. The tumour didn't look any different compared to the pre-treatment scans at that…[Read more]

Well that made life difficult for a bit! Anyway things are getting better now. Fortunately my enery levels are picking up, as my now 13 month old is…[Read more]

I was recently diagnosed with plasmacytoma of the sternum, for which I've just completed 5 weeks of radiotherapy and pulse doses of dexamethason. I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who has had plasmacytoma? Do you have any words of advice-things to look out for, things to avoid. I have been warned there is a large risk of…[Read more]
