(11,780 posts)In that respect I am lucky. They wouldnt have found it if I wasnt so sick last year and having so many tests. Its funny, when I was getting so many tests done I was trying to look at the results and self interpret with the internet. I started suspecting myeloma but the one test they needed for absolute verification is the bone marrow biopsy and they kept avoiding doing it I suppose its an expensive test. At any rate I finally had spine surgery because I was so messed up and all the pain seemed to come from the area of a previous spinal fusion. As it turned out I had an infection in my spine which was causing most of my pain and other problems. So we got that taken care of and so far the cancer hasnt caused me much grief but I know that will change
