Spike In Igg & Protein
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I finished 7 sequences of Velcade, Dexamethasone, Acyclovir and Revlimid in July. No meds at all in August. Saw my Oncologist today. My Igg and protein tripled in one month.
My doctor says she was disappointed in my blood work. I was too.
She says she'll call me in a few days to let me know what's next. The nurse looked shocked. Another nurse told me I needed to get a medical POA, advanced directive & a living will.
Shook me.
Any one else go through this?
