Hello @marymoreau1948, Welcome to Mayo Connect. There are several other members in our support group who have also been diagnosed with Waldstrom’s macroglobulinemia. Here’s a link to a current discussion with members @ejrquast @bob194903 @belcar45 @joannecathcart and others:

Were you just recently diagnosed with this condition? Are you in a treatment plan?

I am assuming you had a bone marrow biopsy to be diagnosed with WM. Depending on what year the BMB was performed you should know your mutations. The mutations and data help our WM specialists determine what treatments they would recommend when symptoms occur.
I am not sure what you are referring to with “protein antibodies.”
