Just back from my consultation post testing with my Myeloma Specialist at Sloan Kettering. Looks like I'm in the Smoldering camp for now. 30-40% cancerous cells, M-Spike @ 2, and Kappa/Lambda ratio at 12:69. Still waiting for the genetic testing FISH markers results which hopefully will be sometime next week. I guess there is nothing much else to do here other than watch and wait? I'm scheduled for my next blood tests at 6-weeks and 12-weeks with another PET scan in 12-weeks followed by another sit down with the doctor at that time.
