Weekly Poll - How Long Since Your MGUS Diagnosis? - 2013

by Beacon Staff on Wed Jan 23, 2013 12:28 pm

Welcome to this week's Beacon Weekly Polls. This week’s question is about how long it's been since your diagnosis. This poll is specifically for patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Separate polls are being run this week for patients with smoldering myeloma and multiple myeloma (see the links below in this posting).

A few clarifications:

First, as indicated in the question, you should only respond if you currently have MGUS, not active or smoldering multiple myeloma.

Second, if you are a caregiver or spouse of of someone with MGUS, feel free to answer on their behalf.

Once you have answered the question above, add whatever comments you feel might be relevant in the discussion below.

As mentioned above, we are also currently running polls for active and smoldering myeloma patients. If you currently have active or smoldering myeloma, please vote in the appropriate poll. And, of course, feel free to check out the results of all of the polls:
