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?
Hi Gold Hill Dave and a warm welcome to this corner of the Community although I am sorry to see you joining us.
I am Mike and I help out around our various Blood Cancer groups. I don’t have Myeloma but I was diagnosed way back in 1999 with a very rare (also incurable) but treatable type of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (Stage 4 in late 2013) so although my Blood Cancer ‘type’ is rather different I do appreciate some of the challenges of this journey well.
