@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.

Thank you for replying to my post. I am waiting for an appointment with radiologist to do bone marrow biopsy. I am so nervous and cry all the time. I lost my husband a while back and have been upset ever since, and now this. My PTH level is very high as well. I read someplace that that has something to do withMM.
My m spike is elevated and my blood count is low. I am so concerned as I am all alone, not much support. Not sure how I am going to manage.
As soon as I find out more after testing I will post again. The waiting is unbearable. Helchen
