MGUS And Progression To Myeloma
How long does it take for MGUS to progress to Multiple Myeloma
Hi Chris,
It depends on your type, IgG, IgA or others. Kappa vs Lambda. It also depends on whether you have translocations, deletions or additions. I have IgA Kappa which is higher risk to progress. I also have t(14;16) which is rare and high risk once I am diagnosed with MM. I am currently Smoldering. I was told when I had MGUS that progression could take 20-30 years, but after doing research, I saw my type progresses quicker. Diagnosed with MGUS 2020. SMM 2023. MM is still pending. Some people with MGUS never progress and have no symptoms. I had symptoms and severe osteoporosis. I recommend Dr Brandy’s book “Beat Back Cancer Naturally” to help you make changes in your diet and what supplements to take. My good numbers went up and bad numbers went down after taking some of the supplements he recommends. If you can get your immune system, which is in your gut, to get as heathy as you can, you may be able to keep it from progressing.
