I’m sure you will receive numerous responses from our members but I will tell you how I deal with my health anxiety in regard to MGUS. You need to be your own advocate and write down questions you need answered when you see your oncologist because in my experience, most doctors today are just in too much of a hurry. Gone are the days when a doctor asked you about your home life, your diet, your concerns or your exposures to toxins. If you search back through some posts on MGUS in the forum you will find people who have had success controlling or reversing MGUS through a plant based diet and supplements. There are ongoing clinical trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital with that exact protocol. Be assured that there are steps you can take to change the course of this diagnosis. Take this as an opportunity to examine your lifestyle and go beyond just controlling this diagnosis- instead to living your best life focused on giving your body all it needs to excel whether it means joining a gym or an exercise group or just setting aside the time every day to engage in a physical activity outdoors such as walking in nature. Try to train your thoughts to focus on the positive such as “wow, I walked 3 miles today and it felt so good and I am looking forward to tracking my activity on paper because it gives me a sense of accomplishment.” Set goals for whatever activity you enjoy because it gives you a Plan and you are then taking control of small things every day that can change the course of your life. Unless you are a vegetarian, make changes in your diet and your body will thank you in other ways as well. There is a saying “ The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form or poison.” Focus on gratitude every day and try every day to be the most positive person you know. Love and blessing to you.
