Does anyone else have MGUS?

There’s one part of the equation you don't know. My brother died from MM because he was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam. What cancer is linked to Agent Orange, you guessed it, MM.

For me, I was exposed and ate tainted vegetables that were by a weed killer too. I unknowingly sprayed the weed killer close to but not on the plants. So for 32 years, my body absorbed Roundup weed killer. Guess what cancer is linked to the weed killer that people died or got from it, Lymphoma. I’m betting my life on it, that I have it and not MM but everything my Oncologist gives me says nothing’s found. I just went thru a full body X-ray survey, 26 X-rays looking for MM lesions, none found. Guess what, Lymphoma doesn’t usually show up on X-rays. That’s why I’m glowing in the dark from so much radiation. Oh well. Thanks for your advice and concern about me. I guess it’s the wait and see game again.

We have something in common. My brother was also sprayed with Agent Orange in the early 60s during training exercises in Washington. He died a few years alter from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Agent Orange is, unfortunately, associated with many types of blood cancers. I’m sorry for your loss too. 😢
