Hi, My name is Teresa. I believe being 77 years young things happen for a reason. In 2021 I was at the Mayo clinic in Rochester for other unrelated
problems. After getting home I printed out my records and saw the results of
an SPE test. They discovered a fraction M protein. What is this?????? Come to
find out MGUS. Since then I have had several SPE and IFE and Kappa/ Lambda test through blood work. In a way I am lucky. I have non-hodgkins
lymphoma called CTCL. Because of this my oncologist/hematologist does
Ct’s every 6 months and labs every month. January of this year they found a M
protein IgG Lambda same as the Mayo found. On June 6 this yr. my oncologist
did labs and Kappa/Lambda testing. They found M protein in the blood but also M spike on the electrophoresis. At this point because it is a small amount
my doctor will keep an eye on my labs. This is one reason you need a hematologist. I have searched up and down for basic information that tells what MGUS is so I can explain it to the family. I told my husband today, that
this is a watch and see. What I need to get more info on is M protein and the
kidneys. Today I had a kidney stent exchange. It is amazing to me more doctors don’t know about this. To answer your question. You aren’t alone.
