Kate Vandyke is a Hematologist-Oncologist based in North Terrace, Adelaide, SA 5005. She works in the kind of care where you need both medical skill and a steady, human approach, especially when results can take time to come back and plans may change as things develop.
Kate’s practice focuses on blood-related cancers and related conditions, including multiple myeloma and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). In many cases, these problems are found after blood tests show changes that need careful checking. Some people feel fine at first, while others notice symptoms like ongoing tiredness, bone pain, or repeated infections. Either way, the goal is to make sense of the numbers and symptoms, then put a clear plan in place.
Care can involve regular reviews, monitoring, and treatment decisions that fit the person, not just the diagnosis. Over time, patients may need different tests and different management steps, depending on how the condition is behaving. Kate’s approach is to help people understand what each test is for, what the next step might look like, and what to watch for between appointments. It can be a lot to take in, so the conversations tend to stay practical and grounded.
