We just got the results back and my mom has stage 3 MM. I was completely in shock, we knew it was MM but not what stage and when the dr said stage 3 it knocked the wind out of me. She seems so healthy. Yes, I little skinny but she was sick with the flu and had lost a lot of weight but other than that she doesn't complain much about pain and still works like before. She is 63 and the rock of our family, the rock of our small community. I was wondering if anyone here has stage 3 MM and what is happening with you or your family member. I know every case is not the same but the things I have read about stage 3 doesn't sound good and the life expetency is not as long as I would have hoped. I know its all statisical but still, I would like some input. Thanks.
