Treatment Vs. Non-treatment. What Are The Tradeoffs?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've currently been diagnosed with a single plasmacytoma in right tibia, which we'll treat soon. It appears that I may be on the line between starting treatment for multiple myeloma (some indicators are okay, and a few aren't). We're inclined to monitor things carefully and not start treatment for a while, if that is possible
However, the more that I read about the treatment process and side effects, the more I wonder if it is worth it. I'm 73 yrs old, have Stage 3-4 (my GFR fluctuates)… read more

If yes, have you had less severe disease and a better prognosis?
I read a study called women in connection that found 60% of people in the study that took a statin were less likely to be diagnosed with multiple myeloma. And that rose that were diagnosed with multiple myeloma were less likely to have severe disease and a better prognosis.

Types Of Stem Cell Transplant
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I went for chemo yesterday at the VA and I really like this nurse, she seems very trustworthy and yesterday, she said she wasn't sure how to address it but there basically are two types of stem cell transplant procedures one being they use your plasma cells or someone else's. It was her honest explanation, but I left there feeling some type of a way yesterday. The entire time I've been going, I was under the impression that they would be using mine for my upcoming procedure which I'm not even… read more
