Pl suggest any alternative remedy/ies for multiple myeloma i am 48 yer old and no m band seen at this moment after 6 months of chemo?

Need mor einfo: Myeloma has many treatment variations. Most younger patients(such as you) are treated with chemotherapy followed by bone marrow transplant(autologous type or asct)). You should discuss with your doctor the pros and cons of asct in your case. Otherwise you are doing well yet you should be on maintenance chemotherapy with a drug like lenalidomide(revlimid) at the present time.
