I ve had non-hodgkins lymphoma when I was 9 and then a Wilm s tumour when I was 24. I am now 27 and have a thyroid problem and have been told that I have an igm paraprotein level in my blood that can indicate lymphom (only trace levels) what are the chances of this level having something to do with my old lymphoma and having nothing to worry about?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of non Hodgkin lymphoma and films tumor. Now your IGM increased IGM level in blood. It can be seen in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. It is also a type of lymphoma, and it affects the bone marrow or lymph node. So you should go for protein electrophoresis and if needed go for bone marrow biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
