my 84 year old mother (other than the following she has never been hospitalized exception 3 pregnancies, never sick and only takes 1 BP medicine daily) she gets blood tests every year, we moved from AZ to AL and this year she was told she has all the markers pointing to Myeloma. She is refusing to do a bone marrow biopsy. My siblings and I can't talk her into doing it at all! Her theory is that all her friends who got stuck (her words exactly) got worse or died. She feels she has been in perfect health all these years and don't trust todays doctors poking around. My question is there any other non-invasive tests besides the blood test to confirm the doctors theory and what will happen at this stage (she has no physical symptoms) if she does nothing about it. We really need some assistance please

Dr you are very good you speak very clearly .
This is great news. While the bone marrow biopsy isn’t awful, it’s something to wouldn’t want to do often.
Thank you very much for the information.
Thank you soooo. Much for this information

Can one w/early stage MM ever start therapy with cart t cell therapy instead of suggested R/V/D?
Only if you pay for it. Immunotherapy clinic in Mexico will cost 35k...
Meyloma has attached my head I don’t know why.
What do you mean?
I’m a Hydrocephalus patient already - how can MGUS or Myeloma affect my hydrocephalus?
