Replies to "Does myeloma always have to have an m spike ?"
In a short answer, yes. Patients with multiple myeloma have too much of an abnormal M protein in their blood. But finding the M protein in blood results doesn’t always mean multiple myeloma. It can be a blood condition such as MGUS where M protein is found in the blood but at a lower level.
Did your doctor recently find M protein in your blood work?
