I was diagnosed with IgA Kappa MGUS 9 years ago (I'm 70). So far, still asymptomatic although numbers have been ramping up. My kappa is now 300 and kappa/lambda ratio is 28. MGUS is a wait and see condition with an ~1%/year risk of progressing to SMM or MM. It is good to work through the grieving process and uncertainties of "what comes next?". I try to find fun things to do every day with friends and hobbies. Escaping, destressing, diet, exercise, and getting enough sleep are all important.
