My mother (age 79) has been treated for multiple myeloma since January when she was diagnosed with multiple fractures.  After a chemo holiday, then after two weeks of returning to Revlimid, her numbers are way off IGA=2200, IGG =314, IGM=16.  Does this mean she has a limited life expectancy?
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your mothers situation and problem. Multiple myeloma is very notorious in behavior.  It is very aggressive tumor. And in old age, it is not having good prognosis. She is also having very high levels of IGA and Egg. So her prognosis is not good. Life expectancy is less than 17-18 months. And five year survival rate is less than 20-25%. So better to discuss end of life issues with her.
