@cathy56 Contact the person you spoke to and confirm the records were received. Ask them their thoughts on what your next should be. It sounds like you have all the documentation showing incorrect procedures/diagnosis. So you may need to start from first step again, which you don't want to do.
As a retired RN, you are in a better position than many, with medical knowledge. This also makes it a burden, knowing the small details. Right?! I hope you will let us know what your contact has to say.
As an aside, the International Myeloma Foundation offers a virtual smoldering myeloma support group, the next one is in January 2024. The patient advocate who facilitates it is a retired oncology nurse from Mayo Clinic [Rochester, MN]. Here is the link to get on the email list: https://www.myeloma.org/smm
