Fingers crossed that you have a productive visit And are reassured after talking to your oncologist/hematologist. It is scary, I agree. Try to keep in mind that the statistics are on your side.
I hope you feel comfortable sharing the results of your appointment.

I had my appointment with the hematologist/oncologist this morning. His first words, after looking at my results, was "You don't have cancer. You have something called MGUS." Of course, after having found this page, I was SO relieved. Not that it can't advance to MM, but he said at my age (nearing 80) it's more unlikely that it will be an issue for me. He is scheduling another bone marrow test (had one in May 2022) for comparison. He said that the count was 0.3 and they didn't consider it MM until it reached at least 2-3 (can't remember what the particular test was now. I was very relieved after meeting with him. I'm so appreciative of this page. I felt much better about reading everyone's post and how they dealt with it. My hematologist/oncologist will be checking me every 6 months, at the most. He told me that Mayo Clinic had done the initial studies on MGUS and that finding this page was a good thing for me. Thank you for responding to my post. It helps when someone else can share their experience...makes it a little less scary. I'm praying that it stays under control and know that life will just continue. I just need to be sure that I keep working with him. My PCP just didn't seem too interested in finding out what was going on with me. I think they just have too many patients these days. Thank you again for your encouragement, not only to me, but everyone here.
