I haven't visited my hematologist after last blood test, yet Majolica. And I agree with you that sometimes we (patients) just have to push things a little to get move. I did these last tests on my call, otherwise it would only be in a month time from now and definitely not all the tests I think are important to check the disease (serum-protein electrophoresis for example).
The first time a friend of mine that works in a laboratory found a monoclonal paraprotein in my serum was more than a year ago. She suggested me to visit a hematologist, which I immediately did. But the doctor wasn't really paying much attention on it. He ordered some other blood tests for viruses and sent me off to the epidemiologist. They found nothing special there, of course and sent me off, too. AND NOBODY TOLD ME TO GET BACK FOR A CONTROL AT ALL! And of course nobody told me what does it mean to have a monoclonal paraprotein in your blood! I had no clue about it and kept on living my regular (mostly very hectic and stressful) life. But only for a few months. And then the real problems started...
I plan to visit my new hematologist soon. I got back my urine test results today - no Bence-Jones protein, all normal, thank God!
Good luck to you Majolica and to everyone!
