Gammopathy Monoclonal and Amyloidosis Monoclonal belly fat biopsy

Posted by elmay @elmay, Aug 2 11:03am

I am having a belly fat biopsy tomorrow. The doctor is looking at Gammopathy Monoclonal and Amyloidosis Monoclonial. Has anyone had this biopsy? Did you need a bone marrow test as well ? I don’t know much about this disease ad yet Any information will be helpful. Thanks. Elmay

@elmay, how did the abdominal fat pad biopsy go? What are the next steps for you?

The biopsy was easy. and not painful. The result was negative for Amylodisis Monoclonial. The doctor said that it is MGUS, Monoclonal Gammopathy, which is non-cancer. He does not feel a bone marrow biopsy is needed at this point. He told me to stay as healthy as possible and see him four times a year with blood and urine labs each time. He said he will be watching me carefully for signs of lymphoma since my dad died of it, and there is some evidence of a relationship between MGUS and lymphoma in first generation heredity. I feel like he is taking good care of me.
