Patient's question:
At a young age, I got this illness, and I feel extremely frustrated and discouraged. My family doesn't have enough money to see a doctor, but I can't accept just giving up and losing my will to live. So, I've come here to consult everyone about how to treat multiple myeloma. No matter what, I'm going to fight for it.Doctor's answer:
Multiple myeloma is a malignant cell tumor caused by the proliferation of plasma cells. It primarily occurs in the bone marrow and can lead to bone pain and osteolytic bone destruction. The most common sites of bone pain are the waist and back, which can result in anemia, general weakness, fever, and weight loss. The main treatments for multiple myeloma are radiation therapy and chemotherapy. If the tumor is large and affects vital organs, surgical removal may be necessary. Currently, there is no special medication that can cure the disease, mainly chemotherapy targeted drugs and immunosuppressants, to enhance patients' resistance, reduce disease remission rates, and improve quality of life.
