10/09/20 (2) Sunrise and non-secretory myeloma

Dex sleeplessness again - the first bad one for a while. Went to bed a bit before 02:00 as usual, woke up about 04:30, gave up the attempt to get back to sleep at 05:00. Still wide awake at 05:50, with a couple of sunrise photos. Just like old times.










On the non-secretory myeloma subject, here's another post from a new contributor to the thread:

"Currently relapsed, not shown in bloods. Detected by growing pain, phoned team for advice, they requested CT scan, phoned following day, admitted that morning & MRI pm, evening told MM back & fracture of L1 surrounded by mass, follow up PeT scan showed 5 other small but active lesions. BMB showed MM active, going forward consultant said I would be monitored by pain levels, BMB, PeT scans."

I know I have (had?) a number of other smaller lesions in upper and lower spine and pelvis. The big left hip one was #1, followed by the 4th rib #2. None in the cranium, to the best of my knowledge. As far as I know none of the smaller ones are causing any trouble, but might be wise to monitor them more closely.
