Can anyone help me understand this?
My mother is a very secretive person when it comes to her health. I found a letter stating that she is schedule to see an oncologist about monoclonal paraproteinemia. I need to know what is an oncologist and what is monoclonal paraproteinemia? Is there anyone who could help me understand this? God Bless
Thank you very much.You are right. While doing research all day yesterday, ran across the defintion of oncologist and it concerns the teatment of cancer.
Thank you so much. My sister and I are meeting at my mother's house this evening to speak with her because her health is very serious.
An oncologist is a doctor that treats people with blood disorders/ or issues with the blood. Monoclonal paraprtoteinemia, I believe has something to do with excess protein in teh blood. If I were you, I'd ask your mom about her docotr;s visit, and her condition. Sometimes, the doctor, even under the new "privacy" laws will disclose information to children, especially when concerned with a parent's well being. God Bless
