Recently on a routine blood test it was revealed that I have “mildly raised” Kappa light chains and a Kappa/Lampda ratio of 2.1.
I am a 70 yr old male and tests were done as my kidney function had dropped but that seems to have improved.
I have been told to wait two months for a further blood test at which point I may be referred and something call a Bence Jones urine test.
I am just concerned about the wait as I am aware that early detection and treatment is vital.
As I understand it, my results could point to Myeloma and I was wondering if anybody had been in a similar situation?
