Thank you, that's a useful link.
My levels have gone up slightly but not enough to be worried about I think. My teriparatide treatment for osteoporosis may be having an effect on the numbers.
I am just beginning to understand that the polyclonal increases have nothing to do with the monoclonal condition (MGUS). Well, I'll ask my haematologist about that at my next appointment with him next month.
The most important thing for me is to manage my anxiety and trust him I guess.

I got my blood results back so everything is going ever so slightly downhill. Lymphocytes and white blood cell count lower, kappa light chain higher, kappa/lambda ratio higher. So a slow creep upwards there. I have two weeks to wait for my appointment with my haematologist. I guess we will continue to watch and wait for 6 months or a year until my next blood tests and appointment. Unless he wants to do a bone marrow extract which I don't particularly want.

I decided to make a list of what I would do if I DID have a diagnosis of MM or Smouldering MM. What do I want to do in my life? Who do I want to see? Who do I NOT want to talk to or share with? Where do I want to go? What are my priorities? It feels nice to do that.
