On my last visit to the neurologists, it was suggested that I developed MSA. They aren’t sure so theysent me to a new dr. Is this common? They said this because my CA symptoms seem to have advanced relatively rapidly. What is this–a whole new thing or CA+ It has left me very confused. What is MSA supposed to do? Doesn’t regular CA also advance?
