Happy Friday! Yes….steroids helped, specifically for the kidney failure, but after the tapering off of them I’d have another episode. So oncology decided to try chemo and antibody treatment because keeping me on steroids would cause other medical issues. So far, the side effects of the chemo have been manageable….my fear is if this doesn’t work what would be left to try. I’m glad your treatments seem to be working for you, especially the natural regime you follow. Perhaps I’ll look into that was well…..

I don't really have anything to treat (yet anyway). MGUS is considered a risk for MM, but is mostly asymptomatic. So no MGUS meds (short term use of Budesonide for colitis [supposedly good for kidneys too]). The natural stuff is list is mostly for health and strength in general. The "doctors tell us to do..." stuff.
