I saw my hematologist yesterday to discuss the results of my BMB&A, which showed approximately 15%-20% neoplastic plasma cells. My doctor said, while not yet issuing a formal diagnosis, he thinks my case is somewhere between MGUS and SMM, and that judging by the trend of the labs, treatment in my future seems likely. He provided me with the name of a top myeloma specialist at a major myeloma center located in my general area and when the time comes, will be referring me to him. I believe I'll be in great care.

But before I reach that point, I'm scheduled for a bone density test and a full-body PET scan this Friday.

Well, shoot! The good thing is you got this thorough work up & have found an experienced team.
You are ahead of many people who don’t have this opportunity. I’m hoping you get a good report on the imaging on Friday. And that you stay healthy for a long time!

Sounds like your hematologist is professional and thorough ordering essential tests and referring you to a Myeloma specialist. Best to you going forward, hopefully you don't any further.
