I've read and have been told that only about 1% of people diagnosed with MGUS will actually get full blown Multiple Myeloma, which I've been seeing my oncologist for 16 months. However, in February 2025 I was diagnosed with Mycosis Fungoides and then told last month that I was in remission. I'm going nuts because I've always had "weird" labs since I was a kid and many autoimmune disorders so sometimes I think they are all causing havoc with labs. I get labs again in 2 days and see my oncologist a week later so I hope I get more answers. I hate this hurry up and wait--you may have ???? -- then you have something else ??? -- then maybe you don't. I am the type of person who just wants answers and then I deal with it, but I feel that all the things I've been doing have either caused a "miracle" like my PCP said or we still don't have an answer so I decided to just keep doing what I've been doing and what my doc says and try not to be anxious about the unknown. When I think how far science has gone from when I was a kid and my friend got bruises and was dead 2 weeks later from Leukemia and now many people survive all types of cancer, I feel hopeful.

It’s actually 1% per year. For some types it’s 2% per year. Still low but if I’ve had this since my 40’s, which I suspect I have (we don’t know when it developed, only when discovered) I’m in a 20% range. All the more reason for regular followup.
