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

by Beacon Staff on Wed Jan 23, 2013 12:29 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 smoldering myeloma. Separate polls are being run this week for patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) 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 smoldering multiple myeloma, not active multiple myeloma or MGUS.

Smoldering multiple myeloma, also called inactive or asymptomatic myeloma, is an early stage of myeloma in which the patient does not yet show any of the common myeloma-related symptoms, such as elevated calcium levels in the blood, anemia, bone disease, or kidney damage.

Second, if you are a caregiver or spouse of of someone with smoldering myeloma, 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 MGUS and active myeloma patients. If you currently have MGUS or active myeloma, please vote in the appropriate poll. And, of course, feel free to check out the results of all of the polls:
