This week’s poll is part of the series The Beacon is running that asks about comorbidities (additional health issues) that affect people with multiple myeloma, smoldering myeloma, and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Comorbidities are important because they can affect how patients are monitored or treated and because they can affect survival.
This week’s poll is about autoimmune diseases.
A few clarifications:
First, this poll is open to anyone who has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, smoldering myeloma, or MGUS. If you are a caregiver or family member of a patient, feel free to answer on their behalf.
As always, feel free to post comments, thoughts, or feedback in the space below. They can be very useful to other readers. In particular, please share if you have an autoimmune disease not listed above or if you have multiple autoimmune diseases. Also, feel free to share whether you feel there is a connection between your autoimmune disease and your myeloma, smoldering myeloma, or MGUS, and whether having both conditions affects how they are treated.
