What types of questions should I ask my doctor regarding treatment for multiple myeloma or other plasma cell cancer?

The treatment options will depend on the type of diagnosis you receive. Here are a few questions to start the discussion with your doctor:
• What stage of multiple myeloma do I have and what is the prognosis?
• How many patients with multiple myeloma are treated at your institution each year?
• What are the treatment options and what type of treatment do you recommend and why?
• What are the risks and benefits of each treatment?
• Are clinical trials available for multiple myeloma and other plasma cell cancer types?
• Is it urgent for me to start treatment quickly?
• Where can I go for a second opinion?
• Can I continue with my work and daily routine during treatment?
