Making Sense of My Lab Results?
AI-generated title
Not sure if I’m officially “newly diagnosed” but it looks like I’m moving towards it. After a basic blood test for my annual physical in February my primary care doctor saw numbers he was concerned with and ordered a deeper test. The results showed IGM (18), IGG(2779), IGA (11) numbers way out of range, as are my Free Kappa (5.71), Free Lambda (.45), and the ratio (12.69), so he suggested I see a hematologist. Yesterday I had a blood test which confirmed those numbers, and a bone marrow biopsy I’m waiting on the results of, and next Wednesday is my PET Scan. So with my blood results already in I’m trying to make meaning of what I’m seeing. My appointment with my Myeloma Specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC isn’t until next Friday after all the results are in. Any insights from those of you with more on what these blood numbers mean would be appreciated. I’m also thinking the bone marrow results are also a big factor in the diagnosis, which will probably be available Monday or Tuesday. Thanks!
