MGUS: What you described is MGUS, unless proven otherwise. It is important that you follow your doctor's advice for repeat check-ups. In general about 1% of MGUS patients develop multiple myeloma/year. Consult this site for more info on this topic: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mgus/basics/definition/CON-20026422
