I am a fit and active 71 year old and diagnosed with SMM earlier this year – i was having blood tests for something else and an anomaly was noticed.
My consultant tells me that i am ‘high risk’ because of the type of protein in my blood but i’m not sure what the difference is. Treatment with Zometa has not been mentioned – i assumed because of my age but i see in this forum that other people my age are being given it. I am told there is nothing to do just now but wait till something bad happens which i find rather frustrating. I live in Scotland and wondered if i should seek a second opinion from the Beatson Centre which i believe is a centre of excellence. Any advice/comments?
