Richmond, IN

The ortho surgeon says I need both knees replaced. My oncologist son-in-law says the MM and the treatment I am on make me very high risk and says I shouldn't do it. I have just gotten to a place where I am fairly active and feel like I have a decent quality of life with MM. Now this.

A MyMyelomaTeam Member

Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to answer. I have had the injections and they have helped. Nothing is simple when you have MM, there is so much to consider!

Has Anyone Healed Their Kidneys To The Point That They Could Stop Dialysis?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

My father was diagnosed 1.5 years ago after experiencing total kidney failure. It is hard not to despair at how difficult it is to manage both. He is in remission, but it's been one thing after another with dialysis. Now he is suffering from recurring peritonitis and I just wanted to ask you all if anyone was in a similar position and was able to heal their kidneys? Thank you ❤️
