I was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma which translated means bone marrow cancer. They found it after my being put through a MRI and that's when the physicians detected the lesions in the bone marrow of my skull.  I am still in shock and wonder why me? I don't know what to think other than I hope the Veterans Hospital has the capability to give a good prognosis. I've been reading up on my disease and I've found that it has a life expectancy rate of 5-7 years. Knowing that terrifys me even more. I sit here and wait for the VA to help me and I worry that because what I have is not routine, they're acting slowly on determining a plan. I worry alot these days and don't sleep well at all. I'm afraid to close my eyes because I'm afraid that I won't wakeup. I wish they would have never have found it but they did and it explains the reason why I'm always sooo tired because I am. I can't help it. I feel like death warmed over and from what I've read, that's normal too..
