MGUS: Please, let me know I not alone

Hi,
Is there anyone out there that can help me get some insight into the disease. My father was just diagnosed monoclonal gammopathy, and i've read some literature, but I want to talk to someone who has actually had a loved one go through the same thing. The doctors are not offering any treatments for him, because of his diabetes, and renal failure. He also has a clotting disorder. The doctors also told us that they do not recommend him for chemo with all of his other health issues.

<p>My red blood cell count is 3.75. I have MGUS- precursor multiple myeloma. I do not feel well tired. My oncologists says my count is normal, I. Disagree, I feel well when it is around 4.25. @rowanwolfe</p>

You too: what have you found out. I am trying to get an appointment at mayo in Rdfochester. bonnie

MGUS " Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance, abnomal protein in blood.. My Oncologists tells me a good diet will not stop the progress of Multiple Myeloma. Just had my 2nd Bone Marrow biopsy last week, because of a significate spike in my "M" protein..which is now 2.6, when I reach 3, I then can start chemo. Last weeks blood draw(every 90 days) showed BenzJones(abnormal proteins) in my urine, so far I am pain free and MRI"s show no bone lytic lesions, (holes)...Yea! Life is Good.....

Find a Oncologist, ask many questions and the Mayo clinic can give you info on Multiple Myeloma. Wishing You a Sunny Day.

Could you tell me what MGUS is?

Recently diagnosed with MGUS and need advice.....physicians, nutrition, etc.
