What is a mgus! My generalist doctor had done an analysis with an electrophorese with immunoelectrophorese! That was three months ago.
I have an anomalie in igg Kappa! That was confirmed after one month!
I have been at an hematologiste who makes a new analysis in january!

That will give you a bit of information about MGUS. Typically, if you are tested and an M paraprotein is detected in your blood, you are referred to a specialist who will monitor your health. MGUS is not cancer, but there is a small risk of the condition progressing to other blood cancers including multiple myeloma. Many have had MGUS quite uneventfully for decades.
It’s important that you advocate for comprehensive healthcare and ensure that you get a referral to a hematologist/oncologist who is a specialist in treating blood cancers. You don’t have blood cancer with MGUS, but must be monitored.
Can you speak with your physician about this and will you let me know how this works out for you?
