Does anyone else have MGUS?

My husband's blood tests last week show a spike in monclonal protein and that means either myeloma or MGUS. I am losing my mind, completely distraught for him, myself and my children. We don't have a diagnosis yet but the fact that he also has anemia suggests myeloma, from my Dr. Google searches. Please tell me I am wrong. He's only in his 50s and our kids are still in their teens.

@karencan2025 First, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Now, please do not do the Dr. Google search!!! It will take you down a rabbit hole and do nothing for your peace of mind.

What is your husband's doctor telling him? What additional testing is scheduled? It is important for you both to be listening to your doctor and the medical team.

For tonight, please sit down with a cup of tea, a few cookies, and pen with paper. Write out your feelings, questions, get it all out. Then do your best to have a quiet and relaxing evening. Can you do this?
