My uncle (who is in India) has been recently diagonised from multiple myeloma(bone marrow), he is also a heart patient with pacemaker installed.Also he got lungs problem now since bone marrow is unable to create RBC lungs are getting filled with water.  Doctors suggested to go for chemo but there is a high risk whether his body will resist or not? He is too weak now.
Can anyone let me know of any alternative or naturopathy method of medications considering his present body condition??

 

Thanks in Advance!!!

  • Welcome to the forum Abhinav although I'm sorry to hear about your uncle and the reason it brings you here.

    I can see you are unsure about the doctors recommendation for your uncle to have chemo so I have found some information about multiple myeloma and chemotherapy on our website if you want to read more about it. I have also found some information about alternative and complementary therapies as well. Just click here to have a look but do keep in mind that as we are a UK based website this information is mainly aimed at people living in the UK and the best way to find out about alternative and complementary therapies in India will be to speak to your uncle's medical team.

    I hope this helps and that you and your uncle are able to come to a decision about treatment options soon.

    All the best,
