And is 0.34 kappa good? in December it was 0.2 alot of folks seem so more knowledgeable about tests
Netta, please ask for a printout of your lab work that is ordered by your oncologist every time they do your monthly doctor's labs. Keep them together in a loose-leaf binder organized by date. This… read more

Apparently when our Syracuse doctor sent a report to our Florida oncologist, he said that my husband has IgA Myeloma.
