Question to ask about MGUS Diagnosis

Thank you for answering. I read what you sent and also sent sites to my daughters, who are my support team. My daughter in SC (I'm in another state)wants to be with me at my next appointment by cell phone if possible so she can listen and ask questions also. She works in the medical field and seems to understand things better than me. Thank You again

@bens Good for your daughter to be present, even if only by phone. Having some medical background, she will pick up on things and be able to support you in this. Personally, I do not see any problem with having her on the phone. My husband has sat in the car while I was in an appointment, and listened in while I was with the oncologist.
Between now and your appointment, take time to relax. Take time to write down questions. Don't "Dr. Google"!!! If you are not someone who journals, or writes out your feelings, now is a good time to consider starting that. I have found it to be invaluable to keep my emotions and concerns in check, in all manner of things. Here is a good place to start: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/journaling-the-write-stuff-for-you/
