Default Waldstroms Macroglobulinemia?

Has anyone in TV has this diagnosis? And, if so, where do they go for treatment?

Found a little more explanation of what it is. I didn't know
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You might look into Moffitt Center at Tampa, Shands Hospital in Gainesville or the Mayo Clinic affiliate in Jacksonville, simply because it is a rare disorder and each of them probably deal with it more frequently..

I am not a medical person.

I happen to know two people who had this, one in New Hampshire and one in Florida. Both went to Dana Farber in Boston. There is a specialist in that cancer there.
