Do you have a myeloma specialist to advise you and your hematologist? Hematologists treat lots of blood disorders. A myeloma specialist treats mostly myeloma, MGUS, and SMM.

I don't think the hematologist that I'm currently seeing is specifically a myeloma specialist, and it's something that remains a concern for me. I started seeing a new primary care physician/internist from whom I sought a recommendation for, specifically, a myeloma specialist. Unfortunately, she appeared to be somewhat clueless. But I've been doing a bunch of reading, and my region isn't short on myeloma centers (I live in a large metropolitan area). Once I get the final diagnosis from my current hematologist, I'll get a second opinion from one of those myeloma centers and continue my care there.
