I forgot to include that I now am immunocompromised which I believe is some of MGUS’ dirty work. I will have to wear a mask in groups forever and can no longer eat indoors. MGUS is far from a benign state. Let’s do something to at least help others coming behind us.

Agree that just addressing MGUS as soon as detected and eliminating it was my thought! I am 65 and diagnosed accidentally 3 years ago. I actually have up to 4 tiny spikes which are below a measurable level. I have been stable thankfully.
I understand that the research is focused on finding effective treatments for the MGUS patients most likely to progress or cause problems. The current treatments aren’t benign so more harm could come if everyone was treated.
I’m hopeful for future research!
