@catpaws1948, MGUS is an English acronym meaning Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. You read more about it here:
- Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mgus/symptoms-causes/syc-20352362

Members in the Blood Cancers & Disorders support group sling around MGUS pretty readily because it is related to the development of altered plasma cells and increased risk of multiple myeloma - a blood cancer. Here is the Bladder Cancer group it is less known.

You're right that there are a lot of abbreviations and acronyms in medicine. I think you'll also agree that spelling out monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a handful to type. 🙂

@gpspanea, do I understand your correctly that you were diagnosed with bladder cancer 10 years ago and you also have MGUS?

Thanks for the english. I see now why acronyms are used so readily. No I don’t have that MGUS just bladder tumors 2 so far in 5 years.
