Lambda Light Chains spiking??
Good morning MM Warriors and Heroes (caregivers).
I've been on maintenance of Dara once a month and Pomalyst 1mg 28/28 since Halloween and have been bubbling along at a low simmer. All my numbers move up or down slightly every month but all within or very near normal range. NO CRAB or other issues or side effects.
Until this month's light chains result.
My lambda light chains have been hovering around 9mg/l +/- 2mg/l since early last year. This week's result more than doubled from 11.56 mg/l last month to 24.3 mg/l this month. Kappas have been behaving themselves in the 6mg/l range - all within "normal" ranges.
We're still waiting on the SPEP result (it's been a steady 0.9 since September) to see if anything changed drastically there. I see the local tomorrow for my regular visit and treatment and hopefully get more information and context. The "It's still within normal range" email from the nurse wasn't all that reassuring.
Has anyone else seen or experienced radical jumps in their light chains when nothing else (treatment or results) stays the same?
Thanks.
