@alicat01 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I know from experience, that getting a diagnosis you're not expecting can be very scary.
-Do not Google your condition! There is good information, but also a lot of questionable things out there! And it does nothing to relieve your fear.
- The vast majority of us do not advance to smoldering myeloma or beyond to multiple myeloma. The odds are in your favor to stay only with MGUS.
-While it might feel impossible today, you will find that living your life as you can, focusing on what is important to you, enjoying your children and their activities/growing up, will go a long way to ease your mind. Having rechecks every 6-12 months is a good sign!
-Come back here for support! There are many of us who will be here for you, and give you a shoulder to lean on.
