Newly diagnosed with MGUS and so anxious

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.

I am so new to all this I don’t understand all the readings but thank you so much for your support I took myself off out yesterday and felt better for getting out. I am intending to do what I can to be as healthy as possible (lots of berries etc on shop) and continue with hobbies seeing friends etc
Thank you
Take care
