      Nickie, I too have been dx with M-proteins in my blood and they are slowly going up. Right now they are at 7.6% but that's only one band as I have 3 others with different percentages. Please see an oncologist soon...a bone marrow test really needs to be done. Right now I also am not receiving tx. Take care and keep in touch. Hugs, Monica

      Nickie I agree with jamie for you to see a specialist for myeloma. Did u get a 2nd opinion? My mom was 47 when she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and they never said a thing about it growing slowly. You should get as much info as you can. Did they call it myeloma or multiple myeloma? There is a Dr. Hussein at the Cleveland Clinic who has specialized with this disease for almost 25 years. My mom went to him for a 2nd opinion and he agreed with the 1st and also her protocol for treatment. Please seriously pursue this as it could save u alot of sickness and even your life. Alicia
