Is Treating A Small Bump Outside Head Advisable While Having Multiple Myeloma?
Hi, my elderly mother has just been diagnosed with myeloma with multiple tumours, but only one little lump to the outside of her head. She isn t in any pain or had any symptoms so was wondering what life expectancy could she expect to have. She s very active and a young 79 year old

Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
As she looked to be in stage 1; she can survive for minimum 7-10 years.
the high level of macroglobulin, Lactate dehydrogenase and specific chromosomal abnormality on cytogenetics study is linked with poor Prognosis.
Hope it helps best.
Take your best care.
