Labs 1/6/23

My Labs are finally back. It took forever for my M Band to come back. I was starting to think they lost the vial of blood. Made it to M-Band detected; not quantifiable, which is cool. For non myeloma people, that means it’s still there but below what they can measure, which is good, still aiming for Zero though.

My blood seems a bit beat up, Myeloma and all. Light chains are almost low now. Protein is punched down. First time in a while my hemoglobin is down, I’m not too concerned though. I remember one time I had a cbc, the lab messed up my platelets and I had to go back in the afternoon for another blood draw. Having had two cbc in one day, I saw how much they can vary, even from the same day. The morning hematocrit and hemoglobin were normal and the afternoon was low. Things are just a snapshot from when the Vampires struck.
