Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Treatment depends on stage of disease.

Melphalan and prednisone is useful in nearly half of the patients. Combination of thaladomide plus dexamethasone is also useful.

Other drugs like bortezomib, zolendroate, rituximab are useful in multiple myeloma.

If no respond to chemotherapy then bine marrow transplantation is useful.

Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
