Blood results & 1sr haemotology appointment

Morning,

 

I have  high b12 results, and rising. My dr called yesterday to have a chat about my results. They have done extra tests and my kappa proteins are also raised.  I have my first appointment on the 9th of september. I'm terrified, I've just lost my lovely dad to lung cancer, and now this. 

 

I'm so scared, everything I see involving high kappa means cancer. 

  • Hello Dg2516, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum.  I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for your appointment on 9 September.

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online so try not to interpret yourself what this 'high kappa' might signify. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. Best of luck for your appointment on the 9th!

    Best wishes,
