Weekly Poll - Hardest Thing About MGUS

by Beacon Staff on Wed May 08, 2013 2:41 pm

This week’s poll asks what is the hardest thing about living with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)?

A few clarifications:

First, this poll is for anyone who has been diagnosed with MGUS.

Second, if you are a caregiver or family member of an MGUS 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.

Especially, if you have selected "Other," please let us know what has been the hardest part of smoldering myeloma for you and why.

For those who are interested, we are also running the same poll for people with smoldering multiple myeloma:

We also previously ran a similar poll for people with multiple myeloma:
