Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Metastatic Multiple Myeloma

default
Posted on Wed, 20 Jan 2016
Question: I have several 'things that are destroying my body'... I'm losing my eyesight.. balance, hearing. All of my joints and connective tissue hurt or are immoveable. I have had several tumors removed, but several are still in me as I was told they are hard to remove, but they are causing stress fractures in my feet... Severe low back and hip pain is a constant. I have urinary retention and incontinent in the rear. Severe Stomach issues... if the drs. take anything else out, it will need a replacement part. Several very peculiar areas have rash/sores that never heal.. one over my eye in eyebrow..over eye that legally doesn't see. The other is over my ankle which broke a few months ago.. I live alone and cannot eat very healthy as they took out my teeth because of a tumor.. No one has told me What I Have- They just treat the issues of the moment....

Thank you so much for your kindness.. I was pretty sure that's what it would be. The interesting thing is that no one has done a biopsy...because of the cost and Affordable Health Care Act.... Very Sad.. I'm not sad or depressed.. it Had To Be Something!. I'm a very spiritual person and I can get by with that.. Because they can't see it My Immediate Family Treats Me Like I'm Just a Lazy So and So.. I wish they could know what it takes for me to do the regular things that are done.. I wish for you a Wonderful New Year.. Thank You Again.. XXXXXXX XXXX

Brief Answer:
It's multiple myeloma

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you. The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of possible metastases. The medical history says you have multiple myeloma. This is a malignancy and it spreads very rapidly affecting all parts of the body .
As it spreads very quickly many patients are detected late and by the time it's spread so much that the therapies are useless.
The only option left thereafter is palliative care.
I hope that the information contained in this message will help. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal

Brief Answer:
Doesn't always need biopsy

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your response.
Multiple myeloma doesn't always need biopsy.
Sometimes blood tests are suggestive enough.
And metastases can be made out in ultrasound and x rays.
Sorry to be of limited help.
