Ok, I am newly diagnosed and am still trying to wrap my brain around this. They found mine because I went to family doc because I was so tired all the time. Found high protein 8.1, that was in Nov. Told to come back in a few months and would retest protein. Went back in late Apr.
and it was 8.5. Sent on to see hematoligist/oncologist. He retested protein and did Bone marrow, and the whole gammit of tests.

Results were 8.7 on protein. It is monoclonal and my bone marrow showed 13%. Anyone who could shed some light on how their MM progressed would be very welcome.

" Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Just found out my levels have almost doubled in the last three months. Am headed to MAYO here in the next few weeks. Sounds like I will be enrolled in study. It will consist of Revlimid/dexamethasone treatment. Right now that is all I know. Will find out more when I go to MAYO.
