I made error it was k1 67 with multiple c + markers that showed not lambda kappa on bone biopsy . But I am not sure if I am advocating for myself correctly but was a great advocate for my patients! I should of made sure my medical records were transferred to different specialties as I think this is were the issues arise and why I was given wrong cancer PET scan 2 months ago and the radiation onc was unaware of fibula cancer Mets dx as he was looking for some plasma type cancer and only scanned knees up! I also want the Quebec Platelet Disorder tested and my advanced NASH !
You see it is too many things at this point ! My only hope is Mayo as I know they care for the patients wellbeing and being a former RN I feel makes my situation worse I feel as I had one specialist tell me “ RNs know enough to be dangerous “ how cruel as I never come off as a professional in med field as in my state of health I am far from medical knowledge as I am not a doctor but a sick patient only wanting answers!
Thank u for your response

I audibly gasped when I read the cruel (and untrue) comment about nurses. I have worked with hundreds of nurses in a hospital setting and wish I had a dollar for every catch they made, often that docs missed. Working in a teaching hospital taught me to trust, but verify.
I’m so sorry this has been such a difficult journey for you.
Be the squeaky wheel. Pleasant but insistent. It will serve you well.
I believe you would be well served to get a Mayo workup. One big advantage is that the various subspecialties have immediate access to one another’s notes. There is less likelihood that important results will be missed.
Best of luck. Wishing you the best possible outcome.
