When they first found my M-spike, I immediately asked a very good local oncologist friend about recommendations for a hematologist. He was very adamant that I should go to one of the major medical centers in our area. He said that the local docs are used to dealing with less rare diseases like leukemia & anemias, but not so much with MGUS/MM. There are many subtleties to understanding how all of the numbers relate to each other and you need someone who can do that.

My biggest issue right now is my ferritin levels. I will get an iron infusion at this next visit. Beyond that, I seem to be asymptomatic.
