Anyone hear of WM with elevated IGG, but normal IGM? After treatment for classic WM and six years in remission, mine came back mutated.

I'm tough and this has been a nightmare. Obtaining healthcare is the worst part. Doctors do not and don't document your symptoms or put the wrong thing or recently totally fabricated a diagnostic which was provenly impossible. They get paid anyway.

Very few doctors know even about non-hodgkins lymphoma. I have to advocate for everything. I'm waiting months for iron infusion because I'm not absorbing it. It's too much to have to advocate while battling it ...the fatigue, bone pain. constant respiratory issues. Even when my daughter goes with me, questions about a plan of treatment and failure to document symptoms leaves you abandoned. I can not get through to the cancer place and end up having to go in person to refill doxycycline. Still can't find out about iron infusion status because no one answers the phone. It's no wonder you die of cancer in America.

Dr. Ansell recommends asking questions but he fails to realize that, after receiving the bombshell of the diagnosis, you have no idea what questions to ask or even who to ask. Four years later, I am still asking questions and have come to the conclusion that some hematologists don't have good answers.

I’ve read that sugar feeds cancer. Can diet and lifestyle changes starve the cancer cells and kill it?

Thank you to both doctors for taking the time to answer all the questions we didn't get to during the Ask The Doctor session. Excellent answers. It was incredibly kind of you to take your own time to these important questions. We are so lucky to have caring doctors like you to help WM patients everywhere!

I have been living with this disease for 3 years going in 4. As well as lung cancer. Had my lower left lobe of my left lung removed three year's ago. And it came back just did a very low amount of radiation. And i find out this month if it's gone. I have lived a wonderful life. So no complaints there.

I had WM treated with chemo in 2016. It came back about seven years later in mutated form featuring elevated (5600) IGG but only slightly elevated IGM levels. FYI

Is it unusual to be in remission with regular WM for 7 years, then have it come back with normal IgMs, but IgGs of 5600?

What an incredible conference! And such a valuable research for Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) patients globally. Although WM is a rate disease, with the IWMF, no one is ever alone.
