It's not uncommon for individuals initially diagnosed with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) to later progress to smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) or even active multiple myeloma. MGUS is a precursor condition that can evolve over time. In your case, transitioning from MGUS to multiple myeloma over eight years aligns with known patterns of these conditions. It's important to stay in close contact with your healthcare team for regular monitoring and to discuss any changes in your condition or treatment plan. Sharing your experiences on platforms like MyMyelomaTeam can also provide support and insights from others who understand what you're going through.
