Hi Cat - if you do take any Darzalex product your Lab must do a special test to account for the false MSpike of 0.1 to 0.2. It’s easy but most do not by default.

Take a look at my Larry2 Story about the New NIH Study that may help keep you in remission. They did a 6 year Study and proved that C3 Curcumin at 8 grams at day had a real benefit of preventing a relapse.

All the Best

My spike has slowly risen to .08 and has fluctuates between .07 and .08. With that said my k\l ratio is still kind of ok though not normal. I have no other symptoms of anything yet. Its been 5 1/2 yrs since first treatment. First treatment took place when my spike was 2.2.

HI Cat!

I love Dr. Peterson at SE NE Cancer Center. I have never felt like a number with him or any of his staff. And he never hesitates to confer with someone more expert then he might be. He'll be retiring in a few years I imagine but I'm confident he will make sure I am still well cared for.

I am on monthly deratumumab infusions and am doing fabulous. I'd consider calling his office if I was you.

WE MUST DO LUNCH AGAIN! It's been way too long.

Thinking of you,
Meylonie

I agree with Peter. A myeloma specialist is a must with this disease. My doctor did tell me they don't go by just one lab. He said a rise in my m spike did not warrant a medication change. They look at the entire myeloma panel. My m spike went up to 0.4 after one of my Covid shots. It scared me. I know how you feel. But Emory rechecked it and it was fine. Sending hugs and prayers 💕

I would find the best MM specialist who then can drive your local oncologist to react. They have more clout and by moving to a specialist it will make them pay closer attention to you in a bigger office. Can’t give medical advice
