My husband has MGUS and M Protein in his blood. His Kappa Lambda has risen higher than what is normal in the past 2 years and now I'm concerned he does have the beginning of Mutiple Myeloma. He has an issue with his spine (boney growths and disc issues). He had another type of cancer 3 years ago and I'm worried this may have caused this particular type of cancer now. Need some answers. The doctor said he isn't concerned. That's just CRAZY !!!

My kappa lamda ratio is disproportionate, yet my cancer doctor says I don't have cancer. His reasoning is that I don't have an m spike

How are you doing ao far

[@angelicaavila7327]

A mi me sale la kappa ligth chain alta, no tengo cancer pero es necesario cuidar lo que comemos porque podría dañar el riñón o otro órgano. Poner atención al alimento que inflama tu cuerpo y dejarlo.

[@audreystarr6166]

can the presence of an M protein spike be caused by something less serious than cancer?

I need to do my own research, I go the call today. Another source mentioned that it could be a side effect of the COVID vaccine?
I have a referral to the hematologist.
