Paula - Thanks for your info. It appears, with my limited knowledge, that my husband may have the same type MM as you. His IgA is extremely high (IgG & IgM extremely low), Kappa Light Chain is high & Lambda low. I am going to review his lab results & look at his creatinine levels. As far as we know, he does not have bone lesions that so many MM patients have. He had a PET scan but we won't know the results of it until his appointment Monday with the doctor. You have been extremely helpful and I thank you again! By the way, I have ordered the book.

It is complicated! I watch my creatinine, because I have IgA Kappa, which can affect the kidneys. A high creatinine is bad. Of course, M-Spike is a big one too. I highly recommend Dr Brandy’s book “Beat Back Cancer Naturally.”

Debbie,
First your husband needs to see a Hematologist/ Oncologist who specializes in MM. If your’s does not, ask for a referral for a second opinion. Your doctor will be happy to work with the MM Specialist. Many people do not live near a MM Specialist, but that’s no problem now with the Internet. You can conference with them on-line. Even if your doctor is a MM Specialist, it’s important to get a second opinion. Second after all the blood tests mentioned above, he needs a bone marrow biopsy. I like MyChart because I can see all my medical records on-line and keep track of my test results. There are certain test results we watch to see how we are doing, like the ones mentioned in the AI response. The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation is a great place to start for information and the name of a MM Specialist. They also have Counselors you can talk to, to help you in your journey, some who also have Multiple Myeloma. HTTPS://themmrf.org/ This site will help you understand the difference between low risk and high risk and what markers to look for. Once you know what type of MM he has, share it on your story. It will help you connect with others like yourself. This site also has lots of information.

My PET scan lit up on my arms and legs, but I had no lytic lesions. It may have just picked up inflammation . I thought a test like that would be more definitive.
