Can Mastocytosis Cancer Be Cured?

after a bone biopsy they told my wife she has systemic mastocytosis cancer she is really scared because when they did a ct scan it showed 3 fractures in her spine and 1 disk that looked like a star with haze around it and that is where they found the cancer, they also said her bones are really weak is this a thing she can beat or should we prepare for the worst.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has systemic mastocytosis. So prognosis is poor. Treatment of choice is chemotherapy. It helps to reduce the spread. She also need calcium and vitamin D3 supplements. Despite of treatment prognosis remains poor. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
