@tsch You have had good responses from @wesleym and @pmm2001

For myself, noone else in my family has a similar diagnosis. In 2017 I was diagnosed with MGUS, that advanced into SMM [smoldering multiple myeloma] in 2018, that advanced into MM in 2019. Yep, I am an overachiever! I have been on treatment since August 2021.

I agree wesleym had a good response. I am sorry that you have MM. There are some possible genetic components I have read, specifically parts of BRCA 1 and BRCA2.
Your progression seems a fast one. My main concern is for my niece who was just diagnosed with MM.
