Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have monoclonal band in electrophoresis so you have high chance of multiple myeloma. You should go for bone marrow examination. Protein electrophoresis with bone marrow examination gives exact idea about multiple myeloma and its staging.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
