Weekly Poll - MGUS & Quality Of Life

by Beacon Staff on Wed Sep 12, 2012 10:37 am

This week’s poll is about how monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) affects quality of life.

A few clarifications:

First, this poll is for people who currently have MGUS (and have not progressed to smoldering myeloma or symptomatic myeloma). Caregivers or family members of someone with MGUS may feel free to answer on their behalf.

We are also running a second poll this week asking the same question of smoldering myeloma patients, and we have previously run a similar poll for symptomatic myeloma patients (links are at the end of this post).

Second, please compare your current quality of life (from the last few weeks) to your quality of life before you were diagnosed with MGUS.

As always, feel free to post comments, thoughts, or feedback in the space below. They can be very useful to other readers. For instance, please describe both the positive and negative effects MGUS has had on your quality of life.

As mentioned above, we're running two polls this week. Here's a link to the same poll open to smoldering myeloma patients:

For those who are interested, we ran a similar poll a while back for people with symptomatic or active myeloma:
