Yes, I was diagnosed with high risk aggressive myeloma January 23rd, 2017. Sometimes I cope Sometimes I can't cope.🤣 I'm lucky, I guess, because I've been on the same treatments for maintenance all this time. I've never been mrd negative but my myeloma is controlled. I have great oncologist and a specialist at Emory. My husband is extremely supportive. He always sees the glass half full. That really helps. I try to eat less processed food and exercise a little every day. I'm a believer in Christ. He has been with me the whole time.😉 I also very grateful that I have one the most treatable cancers out there.
Ilse, the AI answer is correct. It could indicate active myeloma. I am IgG lambda myeloma so my lambda light chains were up when my myeloma was diagnosed. You will need to have a bone marrow biopsy to confirm. The Healthtree Foundation website has learning modules that tell all about myeloma. There is one explaining light chains. I find this website very helpful.
Thank you, Donna. Am I correct in saying that you have been dx in 2017? How do you cope with mm currently?
These are four key markers used to monitor myeloma activity. Here's a plain-language breakdown of each:
SFLC Lambda – 376
Free light chains are protein fragments made by myeloma plasma cells. A Lambda result of 376 mg/L is elevated above the normal range (roughly 5.7–26.3 mg/L). This suggests active myeloma cell activity Show Full Answer
