Hi Meddgirl, I would have a second opinion from a Myeloma Specialist. A Myeloma Specialist would decide if further testing were appropriate. You want a Myeloma Specialist on your team because Myeloma is a complex and complicated diseases with sub diseases. There is new research, medications and clinical trials coming out daily and you want a doctor that knows this disease and is privy to the rapidly changing information. If you need to travel to get a Specialist you can have the Specialist direct your care to a Oncologist/Hematologist in your area. Kidney disease is also a sign of Myeloma. Don’t wait until your kidneys start shutting down. Have a good night! Love, Marcia 🌸🌼🌻

A oncologist who specializes in would be my next step. When you do make a appointment be sure to ask to be called if there are any cancellations. Hope this was helpful. Have a good day.

I've had smoldering myeloma for 14yrs. I have blood work every 3 to 6mo depending on how I feel and what my results are. The myeloma is in my light chains and I have some kidney issues and lots of back pain. Overall my numbers have stayed pretty steady thru the years. Try not to worry to much this is a pretty slow moving disease and there a several treatment options now. Have a good day.

Please go and get checked for Multiple Myoloma. I wasn't diagnosed till stage 3. Yes, it's worth it.

@A MyMyelomaTeam Member,
Thank you. I’m doing well.. today was a good day. I hope you’re doing well too.
My oncologist ran some more blood work and it showed elevated kappa light chains, slightly elevated FLC ratio but low amount of M protein. I’m scared, but it’s out of my hands. I’m just trusting God will keep me safe & protect me. I’m more worried about having the IgA type more than anything else... but I’m not sure my info is correct, so I try not to worry too much... it’s hard though. I’m so glad to hear you haven’t progressed in over 14 years, that’s wonderful! 🙏🏻
