As a MM patient, the presentation by Dr Patel was very informative. Offended it is very difficult to source current information on treatments and new approved drugs. More information from the Conference would be appreciated.

[@Howiesgirl]

Just once I'd like to see a video that discusses transplant for MDS patients. It gets ignored even though so many people, including myself, have it. I'd like to see how MDS patients fare with transplant. I still watch transplant videos involving myeloma & leukemia, but I would love to see someone somewhere do an MDS specific transplant video.

Is there any chance that my girl might inherit this deseas ... what do i need to know and do ??? Please someone tell me

[@LeukemiaResearchFoundation]

This is a question you should ask your doctor. We recently hosted the 14th Annual Treatment Options for Blood Cancer Patients Conference and multiple myeloma was one of the topics. You can see video from that presentation here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5aoeYOfe8R5hZo We hope this will provide useful information for you and your doctor.

MD Anderson has some really good trials going on with immunotheropy. I have smoldering Myeloma and it took about 1/4 of it away.

[@surenderjaiswal3809]

@@brent4770 can now mgus and smoldering myeloma can be prevented to myeloma?

[@brent4770]

@@surenderjaiswal3809 No. You do clinical trials to slow it down. There are high risk and low risk. Some people don't get MM for many years. When I found out about it I already had smoldering and 3 years later I'm still only getting checked once every 3 months. Eventually as of right now you will still end up with MM someday.

[@Questinia1]

@@brent4770 When you said immunotherapy took 1/4 of it away, was it M protein, plasma cells or light chains that were decreased? Where or who is MD Anderson?

Whatever may be ....its not curable at last stage and the initial stage can't be identified for a healthy person like my mom, who passed away at the age of 53 only after diagnosed for a month and half in one of the most trusted medical. So sad .

eventually immunotheropy. Programming your immune system to kill the cancer.

[@scuddrunner1]

@@muhammadibrahim3273 Call the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota and set up an appointment to meet with the doctors. You fly into Minneapolis / St Paul airport, it's a 90-minute drive to Rochester, there is a shuttle if you like. They will take care of your father better than anybody. I was stage 4 given 2 years to live where I live, the Mayo gave me another 30 years. Good luck!

@@daydreamersllc3819 This is what I did. Like I said I was stage 4 when I went in for my treatment. 4 years later it's like it never happened. I do get tired sooner but I work everyday as a carpenter. Because of insurance issues now you may not be able to go to the Mayo. Just make sure your doctor follows this procedure. Where do you live? I live in Tacoma WA. myelomabeacon.org/news/2018/11/21/rvd-vrd-induction-plus-transplantation-responses-survival/

[@daydreamersllc3819]

@ Mike M . We live in Louisiana. North Louisiana. And the best so far I have heard about is MD Anderson in Houston Tx. Yes insurance is probably going to be an issue. It’s kinda like a dead end every way we turn. And he’s been going to the E.R and Doctor for the past year. So we know he’s probably had it at least that long. They have removed 3 tumors and 3 vertebrae’s. They have done two biopsy’s and bone marrow test. They want to start Chemo next week but I just don’t think these doctors know this particular cancer well enough to fight it.

Everyone is afraid of chemo!

[@recyclednew]

I’m not afraid of chemo. I know that it would kill me! And I’m not afraid of dying but I’m not looking for a fast exit either! There’s a lot of genetic differences and other health concerns. We are not clones! There’s not a single simple answer that is right for everyone! Do you know where chemo even came from? Research it! It’s quite disturbing! I will never agree to that! Do what you want with your body but keep those toxins away from me!
