Is Smouldering Multiple Myeloma Cancer?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Albany, NY

I was recently speaking with my therapist who advised me not to tell my employer I have been diagnosed with Cancer as Smouldering Multiple Myeloma is NOT considered a Cancer diagnosis. I had progressed from MGUS, which I know is not Cancer, but why even have a diagnosis of Smouldering Multiple Myeloma?
