It was a routine blood test that I recently had as just joined a new surgery. Have found I've been feeling very tired all the time but put that down to the heat and just my age. Am waiting for my appt with the hematologist.

This summer heat has been oppressive, hasn’t it? It does sap the energy out of a person! Makes me lose my cherub-like demeanor when it’s so hot.

I know getting an unexpected diagnosis can raise the anxiety level. If it helps any, MGUS doesn’t require treatment but it will be something to keep an eye on. So if, with a proper diagnosis, you’re found to have MGUS (Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) your hematologist will likely want to have routine bloodwork run more frequently just to make sure nothing changes.

I’m posting a link to the Mayo Clinic site with some information on the condition. This will allow you to understand a little more about the blood related issue and then you can discuss this with your hematologist.

You mentioned going to see a new doctor. Did you like the new surgery and is the hematologist in the same clinic?
