I had blood tests and some values were not within normal limits. Waiting for a bone marrow biopsy to see if I have MM.
Has anyone been through this routine? What treatment have you received? I would be grateful for any info.

Helchen, I hope you can first recognize your testing as positive opportunity with caring professionals. Second, you will have options available to you when answers come. I was diagnosed with MGUS in 2002, and then Multiple Myeloma at Mayo Clinic in 2004. There has been so much progress in treatment options since then, it truly feels like managing a chronic disease. My mantra has always been, "Be smart, not scared". No matter your outcomes, remind yourself that you are empowered to steer this ship. I wish you the best. Nancy
