You can now have a better understanding of the potential impact on life of the diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma. Many patients that carry the diagnosis will require no more than watchful waiting while others, once thought to have indolent disease, may actually require immediate therapy for best results. You and your physician can discuss the implications of the newer and Revised-International Staging System for Multiple Myeloma (R-ISS).
