Progression on Dara/Pom - What's Next?
AI-generated title
Anyone else have this?: There is a monoclonal protein present overlying transferrin in the beta region that measures between 0.8 and 1.3 g/dl with suppression of polyclonal immunoglobulins. Immunofixation electrophoresis is consistent with the previously identified IgA kappa monoclonal gammopathy. The monoclonal protein cannot be accurately measured with this methodology. IFE also shows a small free kappa monoclonal protein (monoclonal protein #2) in the alpha-2 region.
I ask my Dr and am just told the disease is "progressing"?? Since for 10 yrs I've watched the mspike, now not sure how well the meds are working since light chains are very high. Am on dara faspro and Pom this year and not seeing results but have to keep stopping the Pom due to low blood cells...Keep reading about other new meds like Ventaclave, etc?? My beta 2 is very high and i wonder what can bring that down? Thanks and happy holidays.
