My dad was tentatively diagnosed 3 years ago with maybe multiple mylenoma. After many tests, the doctor said it was arthritis.
He was recently slated for a bowel resection but due to his low platlet count and low white blood count he now has to have a bone marrow biopsy, which could result in this mylenoma diagnosis again. Is this a hard condition to evaluate?
He has been in the hospital for 5 weeks on intervenice feeding due to a fistulae from his small bowel to the outside of his right side and last Friday the doctor said his blood was good as far as the nutrients/protiens etc. Would they not have checked the platlets and white blood count that time as well?
Where can I go to have my questions answered or at least somewhere for a better explanation?
thank you
