Tough one: Your question is very valid but I am not sure it can be answered without knowing more about the situation. We do see patients whose general condition is so poor that it is almost certain they will get unacceptable toxicity and for whom supportive care is the best way to go. Whether this is the case, I cannot say. You certainly have the right to get a second opinion. Sorry about this.

Multiple myeloma: I am sorry. If he is end stage, I would agree with his oncologist. It seems to me that he is really seriously ill. Chemotherapy will not do him any benefit at this stage. He should seek palliative care which will address all his Symptoms including emotional, moral and spiritual support. My prayers are with him and you.
