    Thanks a lot for the detailed information.
    I am 76 and have been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma almost four years back.
    Thanks to all the Doctors in the USA, India and Singapore who have been treating me and helping me to keep fit enough to travel visiting my grandchildren and leading quite a normal life given my age and condition.
    I am on Revlimid and Dexa and life is beautiful.

    56 yr old male, diagnosed 1 month ago due to hearing loss from tumor, fracture of the spine, fatigue just to name some of my current symptoms. Most information and videos on youtube and internet has been overly complicated and full of jargon. I have a masters degree and still felt that most were over the top..This video is very easy to follow and made for the layperson patient. Myeloma for Dummies..ha ha ha..thank you for taking the time to really present the information in a plable way.

      Verona, I am praying for you. My brother, Jim, developed multiple myeloma at age 72. Presently he is in a clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center receiving a stem cell transplant.

    Dr. Mikheal, thank you so much for taking the time to make this information available in an easy to understand format. I am 52 and have just recently been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Videos like yours have taken the fear of the unknown away. Thank you.

    Is there any other reason that someone would have an M-protien spike? Meaning, a spike could happen in some other condition?
