Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your mother has lytic bone lesion and very high creatinine. SO she has high chance of multiple myeloma. She should go for protein electrophoresis so check level of M protein. It will give you confirm diagnosis. Then She should take treatment accordingly. Lenalidomide plus dexamethasone is the treatment of choice for multiple myeloma. Bortezomib can be used. Stem cell transplantation is the best option. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
