Sorry to hear. There is a disease called Waldenström's macroglobulinemia that is rare. It has something to do with the bone and white blood cells, a form of blood cancer. Since you stated that the doctors can't figure it out, this may be something else to present to them. My father who is 86 was diagnosed with it in his early 70s, has lived with it for over 10 yrs, and has even out lived his doctor.

Prayers for your husband, and you take care of yourself too.
