A member asked:

What is the current prognosis of african american women with multiple myeloma with renal failure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: This can best be answered by your treating physician. It often depends on age, other medical disorders, previous treatments, response to velcade (bortezomib). Most patients will have improvement in renal failure if this is the first treatment they receive, and the treatment usually includes velcade (bortezomib).
