I understand the frustration from not understanding the criteria. I just got my 10-31-25 follow up pelvic MRI results from 9-15-25. 8-15-25 showed on 13 mm focal enhancement and 10-31-25 showed 3 focal enhancements: 1- 5 x 8 mm, 2 -5 x 6 mm and 3- 4 x 4 mm. MyIgG lambda smm was high risk with 20-30 % plasma cells and 2.2 g/dl m spike and flc less than 0.1.

I have my next round of blood work December 2 and then next followup December 17.

Hoping that I am still watching and waiting even though i want to squash it while I am strong enough! I hope you are still in safe territory and that when the time comes you are prepared to put it in remission!

@donna195 What about CRAB criteria? That’s the problem. So many variables. CBC. Chemistries. Ratios. IgG Levels. Kappa or lambda. ELP. Levels up, down the same. PET scans. Bone marrows. And the best you can hope for is it’s close to the same results as 6 months ago. Stable but abnormal. I just wish there were more intervention that can be initiated.
