My number was 16 on the bone marrow. Told me it looks like smoldering but my IGG is 522 / IGM is 36 and IGA is 28.1. No M spike in blood but was seen in urine. Lambda 97.5 / Kappa 0.98 and ratio 0.01. CBC numbers all look decent as well.

I am doing fine Dennis I never have experienced symptoms or side effects from treatments. Doing everything I was doing before diagnosis including working a physical 40 hour week & working out at least 3 days a week. Will be biking 20 miles tomorrow. You sound like you also are asymptomatic, I think that is huge along with genetics and responding well to treatments with very little side effects for longevity. This is a marathon until they find a cure.

Comparing those numbers to mine scares me.
IgG was 5137
IgM was 29
IgA was 28
That was May2025

How are you now Rick? They are doing an MRI on me but my CBC numbers are all still good.

Hi Dennis not sure if my math is correct but a Kappa of .98 and Lambda of 97.5 would be close to the ratio of 100 to 1 which is used to diagnose having MM. After all .98 is close to 1 and 97.5 is close to 100. Thus a ratio of 100 to 1. My Lambda was near 2,300 and my Kappa under 1 when I was diagnosed, I was off the charts.

That's good, I was diagnosed in 2010 at stage 3. They never been able to get my M-Spike to 0. Even after 2 SCT's. My MM has been jumping from stage 2 to 3 for years. Mainly due to infections and heart failure causing the interruption of chemo.
