@gingerw,
Can I ask you how long you had MGUS before it progressed to MM? Did you ever have any symptoms with MGUS at any time? Thanks for your encouragement and help. And I will keep you in my prayers during your chemotherapy.

@1oldsoul Well, officially I was diagnosed with MGUS 2018, but all signs point to issues for a couple of years before that. I was in an HMO medical group that chose to ignore some trends in my bloodwork. It was when I changed kidney doctors to someone out of network that everything got rolling.

And, please understand that the vast majority of people do not progress beyond MGUS. As my medical team and I say, "I am an overachiever!"
