@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?

Hi Ginger,
That support is really helpful; thanks so much. He just had more CT scans and blood tests so the next step will be to meet with the cancer centre as they deal with the next steps. That doesn't mean he has been told it's myeloma, just that the specialists at the cancer centre will take over from his family doctor. We shall see. He has quite a lot of medical knowledge due to his profession but this is a new one. I am hoping it is MGUS, which would be a much more favourable outcome. It's the anemia that throws me as my understanding is that is not as common with MGUS.
I really appreciate being allowed into this community. Thank you so much.
