Hold your info and thoughts to yourself for now and see if the docs "rule it out" (consider it) on their own. You may have the right conclusion, but you don't want to step out of your patient's role.
Instead of making a dx and being wrong, they will use "rule it out," which means they are pretty sure it's that , but don't want to jump in with both feet.

I did more research and found that Lupus could also cause a high M Spike. In a study that I found some patients didn’t have myeloma they tested positive for lupus. I guess I’ll see what the hematologist says on the 25th, he may want to do more testing.
