I am 60 years old. I was diagnosed in September of 2024 at the end of chemotherapy treatment for colon cancer. I was having lower back pain and low haemoglobin.
M protein is 2.5 and plasma cell infiltration of 50/60 percent. I have lesions on my right hips but told it is not cancerous.
I get monitored every 3 months.
Currently on wait and watch.
I am concerned that l am not offered any treatment?

@princesskah Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see you have been a member for close to two years, and this is your first post! How are you doing post colon cancer, now?
I bet several of us are wondering who is doing the monitoring you are going through every three months? It seems there would be some follow-up with those lesions to get a more definitive overview of where your health is right now.

With your numbers I would advise seeing a MM specialist, not just a hematologist/oncologist. There’s really a wide gap of current knowledge. I understand the discomfort, I’m a watch and wait patient too but with lower numbers than you.
