Brief Answer:
Need your protein electrophoresis report.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You are suffering from multiple myeloma.
It is malignant tumor of B cell. It secreates immunoglobulin. This immunoglobulins are different from normal. Normal immunoglobulins are polyclonal. In multiple myeloma these are monoclonal. And it is called M Spike. You don't have monoclonal band. It is good sign. Please send me your reports of that, so that I can explain you in detail.
I will wait for your reports.
