My grandmother was diagnosed with MM about a month ago. Since then she has lost the use of both legs is bed ridden and is now has numbness in her right hand and foot. The doctors told her she would be back to herself in about a month. She has only had 2 treatments of radiation and her pain is unmanageable. She is 86 years of age.

If you have cancer of any kind, would extreme fatigue be a symptom of that? Or are you just severely fatigued once you begin treatment? I know chemo and radiation takes a major toll on the body and that of course causes fatigue, but could you feel that way before you even find out you have cancer?? Thanks in advance.

For years, I’ve had a bad case of eczema that has morphed into many different kinds of bad rashes, all over my body. I’ve been put from all types of cortisone creams to many pills and different types of steroids. Is it possible to develop a disease like cancer from taking so many different medicines like it’s possible to develop cancer from things like radiation?
I also have a higher than normal risk of getting cancer… I have to biopsy everything that looks suspicious.
