Welcome to Connect, @helchen. You'll notice that I moved your message to this discussion about waiting for results of testing for multiple myeloma. I didn't this so you can connect with others, like @jenga543. As well as members who have been diagnosed with MM, like @1nan, @spooner2 @yield2 @beckyoutlaw1115, @ozys, @jeanroberts, @stephanieprieto, and @lisa54. They may be able to share some of their experiences with the diagnosis process and what they will be facing next.

When will you have the bone marrow biopsy?

@colleenyoung @helchen I have had the testing, including bone marrow biopsy, MRIs and CAT scans. The diagnosis is MGUS [monoclonal gammopathy of unspecified significance], the precursor to MM. I just had labs done and go to hematologist oncologist on the 7th of Jan for the monitoring update. My autoimmune disorders are numerous. I hope you have good news. When you get the biopsy, ask them for the Versed, to take the edge off your anxiety for the biopsy. They didn't give it to me, and the procedure was pretty uncomfortable.
