Smoldering myeloma is often not called active cancer because it is considered an early or inactive stage of multiple myeloma.
Abnormal plasma cells and M-protein may be present, but there is still no damage to organs.
If these signs are not present, the disease is usually classified as smoldering myeloma rather than active multiple myeloma. Because of this, doctors often monitor patients closely with regular blood tests instead of starting treatment immediately.
Smouldering myeloma is like a “sleeping” or early form of the disease that has not yet started damaging the body.Some people can remain stable in the stage for many years, but careful monitoring is important to detect any changes early.
Doctors usually look for something called the CRAB criteria,
High Calcium levels, Renal (kidney) problems Anemia, Bone damage or lesions💪🩸🙏

Peg,
I added you to my team. You can join if you want by clicking the Plus sign on the right of my name. I am Smoldering. Don’t believe that there are no symptoms. I have fatigue. My white blood cell count has been below normal since 2011. My creatinine can go above normal and so can my calcium levels. I have changed my diet, so my numbers have gotten better. I highly recommend Dr Brandy’s book “Beat Back Cancer Naturally.”

Thank you!
Thank you so much 😎
Why isn't smoldering myeloma considered cancer?
Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) is classified as a precancerous condition rather than cancer because it doesn't cause symptoms or organ damage. While people with SMM have abnormal plasma cells and elevated M protein levels, these abnormalities haven't yet harmed the body.
