M-Spike Results from December 1 2011 Results

My M-Spike results from December 1 2011 (Day 79) are back. My value continues at 0.1 which is excellent. I still have mild hypogammaglobulinemia at 0.4 (norms (0.5-1.6), however, this considered just part of recovering from the stem cell transplant done on September 13 2011. My initial M-Spike on diagnosis back in May 2011 was 3.0.

Day 63 - M-Spike Value Results from November 9 2011 Back - November 15 2011

They repeated my SPEP on November 9 2011. The results came today, November 15 2011. My M-Spike remains at 0.1 (IgG kappa). However, now I have "hypogammaglobulinema" listed on it also. I'm not sure if this is of concern or just part of recovering from stem cell transplantation. The report also lists: Mild elevated alpha-2 fraction (alpha-2 macroglobulin). Again, not sure what that means.

I stayed home all day today because I had to do a 24-hour urine test that I will be taking in to UCH tomorrow.
