I would be interested in  hearing about this as well.

My dx was
IgG kappa type plasmacytoma, which was removed from my T5 vertebra last
september, followed by 45gy of radiation, finishing up Dec. 31.  In mid
december, my kappa light chains were at 2.9mg/dl, and they've bounced
around between 2.0 and 2.4, which is within the range of assay
variability, ever since.


My oncologists say that the tumor is supposed to continue dying for
at least six months post radiation, so from that perspective the levels
should drop.  However, I also have 5-10% plasma cells in my bone
marrow, and it would make sense that these are where the kappa chains
are coming from now.
