Hi my name is steve and my wife, who is 53 just received news from her dr. that she has this mgus. never ever heard of it before.
her blood levels of protein was a bit high. he sent her to a specialist who confirmed it with another round of blood tests and wants her to have a bone marrow test in order to make a diagnosis.
she, her name is esther is worried, but i am really worried. she feels all will be okay, the levels are low. I am upse as i just lost a 77 year old brother to leukiemia. My wife, is so young relatively speaking, so nice and kind never hurt a fly, how can this happen out of no where. i am a special ed. teacher, ready to retire, we are planning a trip to hawaii with some friends this summer, when we heard about this mugus thing. im 59, look and act much younger, constantly work out, as does my wife, but mainly walking for aerobics. we watch what we eat, don't smoke or drink, except on an occasion.
i can't sleep well at night thinking about all this. esther feels all will be okay, says "i will beat it." "my Levels are low". the bone marrow test will be on november 27th, wish us luck. thanks for listening
we are in sheepshead bay, brooklyn ny
