Hello All,
I just discovered this site, though I discovered several years ago that I have a mgus. At that date, there was virtually nothing on the web or in any books I could find that told what a mgus is. I was sent by my neurologist to an oncologist/hematologist without being told what I had or why I was going. I was only given the dr's name and the address and when to show up. When I found myself at an oncologists office, I began to cry. Several years before that, I had been told by another hematologist that my bone marrow was not making red blood cells, but he refused to treat me because of no insurance. I went home and tried to forget about it. I guess I had the mgus even then and didn't know it. Now there is much info on the net about it and some is scary. I have lost 2 brothers to cancer and a nephew is ill with stage 2 at this time. I am worried, but determined to beat it if necessary. One important thing is: keep up the hope and find people to love! Love your kids, your mom, whomever is in your life that you love, show it and accept it from them. Love is strong and so is faith in God. Read the Bible. I hope that doesn't offend, but saying it increases my hope. I may not come here anymore, but I hope the best outcome for all of you.
Bye, now.
