What is MGUS exactly

[worriwart]

Hi, thank you for being able to ask questions that does not always come to mind when i am at the doctors.

I have being diagnosed with MGUS. I have a newly identified paraprotein at low concentration. I dont know what this all means and would be grateful if someone could explain this to me.

"MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance) is a non-cancerous condition. People with MGUS make an abnormal protein, called a paraprotein or M-protein, which is found in the urine or blood."

Thanks; You will probably be asked to have more regular blood tests now.

That is already happening, and i seriously dislike needles as it is, so its rather daunting everytime i have an appointment. The last doctor was kind enough to draw enough blood to minimize my fear of needles, which helps a lot...lol
