What Causes Bone Like Bumps In Multiple Myeloma Patients?

I am a multiple-myeloma patient who found this disease early in 2006 when I was told it was in stage 1. I had a stemcell transplant in Jan 2007, went into complete remission, and it is now reoccurring....this time with some bone-like bumps on my head. The oncologist say that this can sometimes happen, but I want to know how serious these things are? I am 71yrs old,5'6",weigh 147lbs and in good health otherwise. I also have an orridia (sp) treatment once a month because I did have my first injury last September....a compressed vertebrae which required surgery. - Thank you - Roberta McIntosh
