Default Negative paraneoplastic panel BUT!
I dont understand what is going on. My doctor wont explain anything to me.

I was just informed that my paraneoplastic panel was negative but I tested positive for N type calcium channel AB.

My name is Jeff, I am 50 and very scared.

This link explains a little.

I am sorry, but presence of this antibody, suggests serious
problems:

Thank you for the response.
I know that it is almost always associated with small cell lung cancer.
I have read other things that it is associated with as well but they all classify this as PNS.

I dont know why the nurse that called me said negative for pns but positive for N type.


I have no cough
no blood
no weight loose just tingling in my legs and fatigue.

I dont even know what I am asking really. The doctor ordered P/Q ab serum test.

I wish that they would tell me something.
This is horrifying

now he is saying he is not concerned with this as hey believes its a lab error as the test was aborted. something about salt inclusion.


he is doing the p/q test to be sure

He said something on the order of a salt inclusion or formation in the test?
At any rate his MA told me that they are testing me for the P/Q just to be safe

Does that make any sense to anyone?

Still no result on the P/Q

Still so freaked out.

I had a chest CT scan.
No masses detected.
Colonoscopy No cancer.

Hi, I used to be a chemist. I would need more information and am not familiar with that particular test, but there could be a salt factor conversion or something like it. Your doctor might be telling you that it was a math error in the original reporting of your lab result.
