I had extensive back surgery in 9/21 during Covid. After my surgery I was sent to City of Hope, Medical Ongologist. I have been seeing him every 3 months for labs. I was told it was because some of my blood work was off after surgery. I assumed it was because I had 2 transfusions during surgery. I recently was able to check my documents on line. I knew my iron was low as I was put on meds. I saw a diagnosis of Monoclonal Gamopathy which I was not aware of. I have read a lot of comments and relate to them. I was also diagnosed with CKD 3 which was new. I have known of this diagnosis and am seeing a nephrologist. I now have a lot of concerns-my dad died of lymphoma. From what I’ve learned from this site I should ask for a baseline BMB at the least. I see my GP next week and I will address these concerns with her. I appreciate what I have learned already in this group and will continue to check in.
