Does anyone else have MGUS?

Hi @mjlandin
I was diagnosed with MGUS last July via standard tests related to Neuropathy.
M-Spike on serum electrophoresis of 0.2 and IgG kappa but with normal hemoglobin and normal serum free light chain ratio. I will continue to have blood tests every 6 months per my Hematologist. About 5% of adults over 65 have MGUS per Mayo Clinic study and only about 1% per year will progress to MM. I don’t worry about this condition at the moment since there is nothing that can be done to treat it or reduce the odds to migrate to SMM or MM.

@ea1 hey there! I’ve just been diagnosed with the same number as you only I’m igg lambda. How are you doing? I’m envious of your lack of worry, how do you do it?!
