Thank you for the videos and 💁♀️ I wish my doctor will explain this to me
thankyou!
What is considered a low level that’s what I want to know.
Okay 30 mg / dl with neuropathy and bone pain
I have myeloma but no protein. It’s a very rare type.
I just got told I have elevated M protein and they want to screen me for cancers.
My sister has the same thing.
What was your outcome? I’m going through this now, I have Igg Kappa monoclonal proteins. I will see the doctor Monday to discuss but losing my mind!
@@jenniferchez3492 I hope the visit the doctor went well.
In my case, the Serum free light chain test detected Kappa FLC 105 MG/L and Kappa/Lambda ratio 8.98. Did you happen to know which values would differentiate between "Igg Kappa monoclonal proteins" vs. "Kappa Light chain amyloidosis" ? Thank you. Best wishes.
@ what is the next step for you? My doctor is testing me again next month to see if my numbers have gone up, he feels confident they are low and there’s no cancer present at the moment. My vitamin b12 is low and I also have anemia but we are hoping it’s not related.
@@jenniferchez3492 Next week I have an appointment with the Hematologist, and will get his assessment. Best wishes.
