After waiting over a week, we got a phone call from the myeloma specialist himself this evening. He said the 24 hour urine test showed that Doug's kidneys are leaking over 3 grams of protein a day. The test showed it is NOT light chain deposition disease. The other possibility is amyloidosis, or there is also a possibility the cause is completely unrelated to the myeloma. So a kidney biopsy is necessary. The nurse navigator will call us to schedule. We hope it can be done as soon as possible, so some kind of treatment can be started.
This does not come as a shock; we have been preparing ourselves. Doug is calm, as am I.
"I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me." Psalm 16:8
Blessings to all.
