Suggest Treatment For Multiple Myeloma And Myelodysplastic Syndrome
My father has multiple myeloma and Myelodysplastic syndrome he was diagnosed last year, but it is not active yet. He is very fatigue and his hemoglobin is always low. He is given epogen shots every other week. Is they any other treatments that can help him, he is 82 yrs old.
Multiple myeloma definitely needs chemotherapy but general body condition and other co-morbid has to be considered. Kindly consult an oncologist personally for proper treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
