My brother was diagnosed with MM March 04. He is 38 and in relatively good health except for the MM. He is confused about treament options and survival rates. The latest bloodwork shows 7500 IGG protein. He has cracked a rib and has constant lower back pain. His iron level has started to drop. Any info on treatment and options would be greatly appreciated. He was told that the double stem cell rescue was the best option for him, but he is reluctant. He has been speaking with a nutritionalist for the last seven months, but his protein levels continue to get higher. Thank you for any and all information.
