Yes, it is possible for someone to have both heavy and light chain myeloma. In most cases of multiple myeloma, cancerous plasma cells secrete abnormal antibodies, which include both heavy and light chains. However, in some cases, myeloma cells may secrete only fragments of antibodies known as light chain proteins or Show Full Answer
