Kappa/Lambda Ratio Low; Early Relapse?

We got the results of the latest myeloma panel. Up to now, both the Lambda and Kappa light chains have been rising - but the ratio has been within normal limits. Now the Lambda is rising and Kappa is dropping, so the ratio is low. The specialist has been watching, and he said as long as both go up, it could mean recovery of immune system. If Lambda goes up more than Kappa, it could mean a relapse.

And now the myeloma panel shows a slight M-spike. This is the first time we've seen an M-spike since the myeloma mutated to light chain deposition disease back in 2011. Interesting, but may not be anything to be concerned about.

We have faith in the specialist and we know he has a plan, so we are not worried, just alert for changes.  Knowing there are new drugs available is reassuring.
We also have faith and trust in God, and we know HE has a plan!

Both Doug and I have been expecting another relapse at some point, that's the nature of the beast. Sometimes the myeloma sleeps, but it always awakens eventually.
Meanwhile, Doug feels good and we are grateful.

Love to all.
