Multiple myeloma

Hi my dad has myeloma cancer. His fort it for 10 years, his become very very poorly now. But he refuses to tell us much. I feel that his on his last stage. As docter have said that if the treatment doesn't work then his only here for 6mths or a year max. His too weak for the radio chemotherapy so his taking the weekly chemotherapy. 

With that his been getting really poorly and the shivers are so bad his temperature goes up to 41. Does anyone else have this problem with the weekly chemotherapy. As doctors say that its got nothing to do with chemotherapy.

Thank you
