Stage 3B is the highest stage for Multiple Myeloma. 3B means you have kidney issues
Can someone point me to the direction of finding how stages are determined? I thought I saw an article about that. I want to have that and then take a look at the numbers from my last blood labs. Thanks

Well, Ms. Ryan, an interesting question. Causes one to reflect on the joys of living. I've not heard this concern with male enhancement drugs. At my age clinical proof of deleterious effects would not… read more
From day 1 my oncologist has said since multiple myeloma is incurable, there are no stages. So in over 10 years of treatments, stages have not come up. I tend to trust my oncologist 100% so I don’t believe in the stages.
I was "smoldering" and then "Full Blown". Thankfully my numbers and chart show me as barely being in remission. Yet still need the weekly treatments to stay there.
My platelets dropped to I think 70,000 they said. I'm on revlmed I was in the hospital for 2 weeks
recently and had parainfluenza 3 and I was very bad but I finally pulled
Out of it. My blood count raised today I was supposed to start chemo revlmed again but because of platelets we have to wait another 2 weeks. I just want to know if anyone has been in any type of this situation or how you been doing in stage 3 or how long u have been living with it
It is one of the most confusing things about having this disease. They put on my chart that I was stage 3b at diagnosis. Meaning the worse stage and I had kidney failure. My kidneys are fine and I'm… read more
I have Stage 1 multiple myeloma. I started treatment in January because of proteins in my urine. I am on Velcade, Revlimid and dexamethasone. I am on my 4th cycle. My understanding is that Revlimid will suppress stem cell production. So if down the road I may want a stem cell transplant my maintenance program would be the Velcade. I think the Revlimid might be a better option to for remission. I am wondering what others have found with your treatments.
Apparently when our Syracuse doctor sent a report to our Florida oncologist, he said that my husband has IgA Myeloma. We had never heard it classified this way before, and our Florida oncologist also said that none of his tests showed that. Wondering if anyone here has IgA Myeloma and if so, what test was done to determine that?

Ask your MD.

Netta, please ask for a printout of your lab work that is ordered by your oncologist every time they do your monthly doctor's labs. Keep them together in a loose-leaf binder organized by date. This… read more
My doc is encouraging a transplant and not giving me much info about where to do it. Should I get a second opinion as to whether I need one
