I am 75. I am at early stage and awaiting treatment plan. Lot of muscle and bone pain and fatigue but not as bad as many others
Hi Chris,
Most people survive 5 years or more after being diagnosed with MM. Many on this site have had it for years and years. Smoldering MM could last for years and years with a good diet and supplements. Dr Brandy has a book called “Beat Back Cancer Naturally.” I highly recommend it. I am Smoldering too.

I was told I had 3-5 years to live after a myeloma diagnosis 2 years ago! It turned out to be high risk smoldering-I did a trial and still feel fine! I don't listen to people telling us our life expectancy and I am 74! Tom Brokaw was diagnosed years ago with MM read his book, it's very positive.
Is that 5 year survival of diagnosis pertain to SMM too?
Life expectancy with multiple myeloma has improved significantly in recent years thanks to advances in treatment. About 61% of people diagnosed with multiple myeloma live at least 5 years after diagnosis. Some people experience long-term remission lasting decades, with about 14% of patients living 20 years or more.
