Welcome @red7. It can be confusing to get a new diagnosis. You must have many questions and you gather information. Allow me to tag fellow MGUS members like @gingerw @sstillwell @auntieoakley @cctoo @dazlin @momofthree1 @susangs

Red, may I ask how you were diagnosed? What questions do you have?

@red7 I went from MGUS to smoldering myeloma, and then on to active multiple myeloma. I am on my fourth round of chemo right now. As others have mentioned, there doesn't seem to be be a "rhyme or reason" to figure out who will advance into an active stage. I do know limiting stress, making sure your diet is healthy, with as few processed foods/sugars/junk food works well here, as it does for everyone. Exercise is good, at whatever level is good for you. Each person is different. Like some others, I also have kidney issues, but they are not related to the myeloma, so my diet is a tightly controlled renal diet.

In mid 2020 I questioned my primary physician about why I had bubbles in my urine. After seeing a urologist with no results I was then recommended to see a nephrologist as I had high protein in my urine. The nephrologist then sent me to a hematologist as he suspected multiple myeloma. Hematologist then sent me for complete body X-ray then a bone marrow biopsy then a PET scan. This occurred during most of 2020 into 2021. Diagnosis is MGUS but only after getting a second opinion from another hematologist. I am at low risk for MM so it’s watch and blood tests every six months.
