On June 5, 2007 I was diagnosed with MGUS.  On June 1, 2007 my only aunt on my dad's side passed away from cancer. 

I am presently pursuing a MA in Sociology with an intent to do a PhD.  This really keeps me focus and my mind on other matters than on my condition.   

I wonder whether or not my condition will/can develop into myeloma, etc., and when. Athough I am worried as there is no cure and no cause as to why the MGUS exists in people, I am thankful I am alive.

 Keep the faith and try to focus on other good things in life, my aunty usually said.

your aunt has good advice.  Monoclonal gammopathy typically causes no signs or symptoms and doesn't require treatment. In most cases, monoclonal gammopathy is not related to a serious disorder. However, close follow-up is often recommended for people with monoclonal gammopathy due to their increased risk of cancer. About 1 percent of individuals with monoclonal gammopathy ultimately develop multiple myeloma or a related cancer.
