Make sure you get copies of those tests so you can see your results. The bone marrow biopsy will tell you all about what type you have. That’s important because some types don’t progress quickly and others do.

By the way, depending on your blood tests and M protein in your blood, you should have a bone marrow biopsy to determine what type of MGUS you have. You should have follow up visits every 6 months to a year. I made the mistake of not seeing a MM Specialist. An Hematologist/Oncologist that only sees MM patients is what you want, MM is too complex.

That's great news actually. Many people do not progress to MM if they have MGUS. I highly recommend Dr Brandy's book "Beaat Back Cancer Naturally". He has MM. He has done lots of research into diet, supplements and exercise to help all of us to NOT progress. I hope this helps.💕
