Does Multiple Myeloma Affect Pregnancy?

I am 14 weeks pregnant. We found out a few weeks ago that the baby s father has Stage 2 Myeloma. He is now taking Lenalidomide (Revlimid), Dexamethasone, and an experimental drug MLN9708. Is it safe for me to be around him and if so are there any precautions I should take. I don t want to risk anything when it comes to the baby. Also is there any chance that the baby could be affected since he had Myeloma at conception (maybe a dumb question but I m paranoid and want it to be as healthy as possible)!

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Multiple myeloma is one of the most aggressive malignancy affecting blood cells.
It can transmit Genetically. So possibility of genetic transmission in your future baby is high.
This cancer can not spread through skin contact or coughing or sneezing or eating together or through sexual Intercourse.
So you can definitely stay with him.
But risk of development of multiple myeloma in your future baby is high. So better to get done prenatal tests of your future baby.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
