Hi
This is my first post. My dad has MM, he was diagnosed at 68 and is now 79.
I’m 53 and following a range of unusual symptoms asked my dr to test for MM.
She ran the blood test and I didn’t hear anything. Then on 23 Dec I was asked to provide an early morning urine sample so they could do the Bence Jones test. The paperwork noted that the blood test showed ‘Small igGK monoclonal band identified’. I’m not sure if the use of the word ‘small’ here is good/bad/meaningless!
I called on Monday and was told the result was not back yet.
Called again on Tuesday and the receptionist admitted she mis labelled the sample and requested the 24hr test when it should have been random. The lab still have the sample and will now run the test. She couldn’t tell me how long it will take.
I’m scared and frustrated. I have worried all over Christmas and now I know the lab hadn’t even done the test.
I booked an appointment with my dr for Friday morning but I’m going crazy with worry!
