It turns out that I’ve got Mgus. I know that it can develop into myeloma, but for the moment I am so thankful to know that I will have regular blood tests to keep watching for any changes.
I really appreciate all the support and encouragement, it really helped me get through the tests and the waiting for results.
Thank you and best wishes to you all.

Biopsy done,it was bearable, the doctor was very kind and waited for the local anesthetic to take effect. She had to have 2 goes at getting the bone sample,but managed it at the end.
She is hopeful that I won’t need to start treatment straight away. I should know the results in 2 wks.
Thanks for all your support

Bone marrow biopsy tomorrow. I’ve just got my blood results, not sure how to read them. Paraprotein 9g/L, Kappa /lambda ratio 1.78, Sodium 138 mmo/L, Calcium 2.49 mmol/L , Lymphocytes 2.53 x 10 ⁹/L and lots more. Not sure if these are reasonable levels or higher or lower.Thoughts appreciated. Thank you.

Hi. I’ve just had an Mri ,a Ct booked in 2days and a bone marrow biopsy in 10days.I have a date to get the diagnosis mid /late November.
I feel fine,no real symptoms, but a blood test for myeloma was positive and things have moved quickly since then.
Like you and many others, this is a lot to get your head around…one minute I ‘m calm..then I want to cry. Now I just want to know what I have to face.
I am booked to go abroad before the date for my diagnosis, Fingers crossed I can go for 10days in the sun before reality sets in.
Please keep posting, very best wishes to you and yours.
