@georgiagurl I would definitely want an appointment before starting treatment, and it seems a little strange that your doctor didn't. There are important issues to discuss - including, of course, starting treatment itself. As we noted above, your presentation is similar to mine, although 8-10% (vs 5-7%) plasma per BMB.

I know you're satisfied with your hematologist who specializes in cancer, but there is still something to be said for a dual-certified hematologist/oncologist with considerable experience in treating monoclonal gammopathies. This is complex stuff.
