Greetings
Two and a half years with MGUS, feeling great, in fact all the normal blood tests are very good
The monoclonal protein increased in two and a half years from 1.9 to 2.3 - the hematologist asked to check bone marrow, I did not agree. After consulting with 3 different doctors they claimed that there is no reason to perform this test when the protein is at this level. I will mention that my IGG has been constant for two and a half years at 2700. flc 2.9
your opinion ?

Welcome @gilash1965. I moved your post about living with MGUS for the past 2.5 years to this existing discussion:
- I'd like to connect with other MGUS people: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mgus-diagnosis-1/
I did this so you can read previous posts and connect easily with members like @bonniecanby @anng53 @pdyer134 @ea1 @anniemaggie @pmm @mitten @lynne756 @tallyteresa @raye @red7 @michelle151 and many more. They can share their experiences of whether or not they have had a bone marrow test done or not, when and why.
It sounds like you've done due diligence in getting a second, third and even fourth opinion to feel confident that a bone marrow biopsy is not necessary for you at this time. Is that correct?
