I was diagnosed in 2008 and I had follow up blood work done every 3 months as we waited to see what the disease was doing. You can see how our journey has unfolded by going to our blog. Leave me a comment with your email address and I would be more than happy to share in person what we have learned. -Phil http://mmfordummies.blogspot.com Hi Marcella,

In particular, two MMRF pages, <a href="http://www.themmrf.org/living-with-multiple-myeloma/newly-diagnosed-patients/what-is-multiple-myeloma/diagnosis-and-staging.html" rel="nofollow">Diagnosis and Staging</a> and <a href="http://www.themmrf.org/living-with-multiple-myeloma/newly-diagnosed-patients/what-is-multiple-myeloma/prognostic-indicators.html" rel="nofollow">Prognostic Factors</a>, explain blood cell and protein numbers. It's a lot of information, but don't be overwhelmed; take things one step at a time. Most importantly, please be sure to discuss your results with your health care provider. I hope this has been helpful. - Funmi Hi Marcella,
