    I'm still not really clear on at what point I would require treatment. I'm in this middle place right now with a slow progression, but I don't know at what point it shifts to requiring intervention.

    Dr. Spent too much time reviewing my records. I wish Doctors would review my medical record before appointment so as not to use up the precious short appointment time reading.

    There was a great deal of data from the many test results on my file. Dr. Shah to her time to explain the possible causes for the presence of certain proteins found in my blood. The possibility of cancer was discussed and a bone marrow biopsy was to be scheduled to explore this possibility. Through this all doctor was reassuring and positive
