Thank you for explaining so
Thouroughly.I have BICLONAL GAMMAPATHY AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY FUTURE.YOUR VIDEO HELPED SO MUCH TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT MGUS AND BGUS...

Have you heard of Cucumin as a treatment?

I still disagree with watchful waiting in MGUS patients because it's not just multiply Myeloma that is a concern. These doctors know what is occurring, and what the consequences really are in the end. I could very well be one of these MGUS patience with constant nagging back pain for well over 20 years, pain in my right hip, my right femur hurts more, I've already had serious thyroid issue, high calcium in my blood labs, as high as 13.3-14.2 on average when my blood calcium should not be over 10.9? I also noticed I am constantly extremely fatigued.

Is Helibactor Pylori nearly always a precursor of Mgus.

I would not have children I myself have MGUS but I know it's progressing to MM I told my children it may be wise for them not to have children the world is a ugly place also if I knew I was gonna end up like this I wouldn't of had children. How is your husband doing?

Thank you, this is very informative. Unfortunately, "watchful waiting" is a bit misleading: Waiting to do... WHAT, exactly ? MM has no cure that I am aware of; chemotherapy is just torture.
