A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question đź’­

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
