I have not had chemo. My dr has me on immunotherapy drugs and I am doing fine. Hopefully she will do as well. With this disease she really should see someone who specializes in MM as a normal oncologist only sees about 1% of MM in his practice.

MM chemo is different from other forms of cancer chemo. These are drugs (pills) that target the abnormal plasma cells and kill them. There’s also injections that are given in the stomach area. These are not harsh drugs that cause nausea or your hair to fall out and are often well tolerated.

The plasma protein is low, but MM can do crazy things very quickly. It's always her choice as to treatment.
