Xfiles,

You should really be following up with your doctor on this.

Why were these tests run in the first place? Nothing in these tests suggest to me that you have multiple myeloma, but I'm not a doc and these tests are only a subset of the tests one would need to make that sort of determination.

From the pathology reports you reference, it seems like your doctor is investigating the possibility of other diseases...but again, I'm not a doc.

He's doing a cancer screening. These are the abnormal results. I have to wait before I can call because my CAT scan and Xrays arent in.

Xfiles,

I would really suggest not trying to sort out any preliminary tests results until you've got the entire set of tests in and can sit down with your doc to discuss them. You can end up going down a bunch of ratholes on the web by doing this ... and unnecessarily drive yourself crazy with worry.

Yeah that's the hard part. When you look up what the abnormal results mean it points to myeloma. I of course don't know that yet. It's hard waiting.
