Could we talk about anxiety with MGUS

Like others, I was diagnosed with MGUS about ten years ago, male age 77. I see a hematologist twice a year to review my blood work. He has mentioned the possibility of bone marrow biopsy numerous times over the years, but so far, so good. I also have thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) so any cut is an adventure.
In the last year, I've also been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, yet with all of this going on I feel fairly healthy.
Hang in there and follow your doctor's suggestions!

Steve, thank you so much for this post. I have a recent. Diagnosis of MGUS (past November.) last thing I expected to discover at my 75yr annual check up . I’ve never had a prescription or treatment for illness in all those years. My ONC/HEM mentioned bone marrow biopsy and it terrified me. hasn’t happened yet. Hopefully she will not be in a big hurry to try that, but I haven’t had my first six month check up yet. You give me hope and I thank you for that. I hope your future is bright and beautiful. You inspire others. Nothing better than that.😃

Thanks for your share. Have you done anything special to keep the MGUS from progressing? 10 years sounds good to me with no progression.
