My parent came home from hospital 2 weeks ago ending all myeloma treatment. The consultant said 2-4 weeks life expectancy...we are to expect hypercalcemia. Yet...they seem so healthy and full of energy and we are at the end of week 2.. they are on 10mg steroids daily so maybe this is helping but I'd really find it helpful to hear others experience of end stage. Should we expect it to be sudden? Or do people defy odds with no treatment for long?? Thanks.
