@lfevold Welcome to Mayo Connect.
I have smoldering multiple myeloma, which really is myeloma that is not being treated, yet. My sub-type is IgM, but I also deal with chronic kidney disease [stage 4, eGFR 28%]. We are holding off starting chemo at this time, due mostly to the involvement and possible further downturn of my kidneys.

Every three months I have all the tests to see where the dis-ease status is. Because my kidney issue concerns protein leaks, we run some extra labs, also. Is is difficult to wait? Yes, indeed! But I am grateful for each day I am given.
