Bone marrow biopsy (BMB) and blood results showed IgA lambda paraprotein (M-spike) 16 g/l (1.6 g/dL). Serum albumin 36 g/l, beta 2 globulin 5.
Oncologist advised that they would like to begin treatment, but just wanted to check that my anaemia was not due to myeloma.
Next visit to oncologist delayed three weeks due to catching the flu, but did have bloods done prior to next visit.
Paraprotein down to 14 g/l (1.4 g/dL), serum albumin 42 and beta 2 globulin 4 (although beta 1 globulin rose from 4 to 6).
Oncologist advised that changes were due to slight fluctuations that arise during time of day that blood was taken and not to get too excited.
So now I am really confused as he also advised that they would not be starting treatment. But this made me really happy!
Is a healthy diet and giving up smoking making me better? Or am I being naive and should I realise that it is just fluctuations?
Great to find this forum.
