Dalesangel,

Were these the results of a spinal tap or a blood draw? As I understand it, testing for oligoclonal bands and looking at CSF is done for other diseases (see link below), but is not done for multiple myeloma. Was the doctor specifically looking for some specific disease when he ran these tests?
