Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your mother is suffering from multiple myeloma. Initial treatment is revlimid plus dexamethasone. If relapse occur or patient does not respond to treatment then other option like bortezomib is useful. In refractory cases bone marrow transplantation is helpful.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
