Hi, Patty,
Sorry, this is the first time I've checked the board in quite a while. Of course you're scared, honey--this is terrifying at first. It does start to feel normal after a while, though--I've had it for over a year, and have recently notcied that life just took over and I stopped thinking about it so much.
Since you posted, I hope you've gotten some results back that have eased your mind. For the majority of people, MGUS stays MGUS and never turns into anything more than annoyingly regular bloodwork. Please let me know how you're doing, Patty.

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your reply and for your words of encouragement.
I did get some good results. I had a bone survey, MRI of my spine and also a bone marrow biopsy. All are negative for MM and any other malignancy. No bone lesions - I am relieved. I am just beginning to cope with the realization of having Mgus. My oncologist feels strongly based on my lab results that the Mgus will behave itself. I have a 3 month follow up scheduled, blood work. I am positive things will remain as they are. I will admit I am anxious but also know I just need time, time to get back on track and learn how to live with Mgus. I am healthy minded person. I live and think healthy - I will continue to smile and breath in and out. I have a great husband who is always supportive. I want to live, and I will do whatever I can to do. Thank you again - All my best wishes to you for your good health and happy life:) Patti
