I suggest a different doctor. Get to the MAYO Clinic, or MDAnderson Houston. There's not that many centers that can do a stem cell transplant and they are usually connected to a university medical center. My husband had a stem cell transplant to gain maybe 10 years of life. The next step is a T Cell procedure that is just this year approved by FDA. Don't mess around with MM. The difference between our original cancer doctor and MDAnderson is like night and day. Social services helped us with discounted apt. rates, cash and emotional support. We were there 2 months. He's 2 years out and so far so good. Blood draws monthly, bone shot in stomach monthly but he'll do that much. Prayers.
