So now its not multiple myeloma ? Treatment for this will be different than that of a relapse myeloma ?
Brief Answer:
Multiple myeloma passes through active&inactive stages...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
From what you are describing, it is multiple myeloma. However, I need to have your tests reports to give the final conclusions.
MM passes through various stages. If Ct-scan showed rib lesions, they might be metastatic lesions. Can you please provide the ct-scan report and other tests you did recently?
The disease passes through the active and inactive stages.
Looking forward to have the requested reports in!
