Treatment Diagnosis | Reports after using Velcade | Multiple Myeloma

Every medicine has a regiment. So Velcade has a regiment of 4 cycles.

After 2 cycles we took his blood samples the results were very hopeful and our expectation of remissions for Anand seemed a probability

   

The bone marrow showed “8% of cells” as when we started with 44%.There was another gentleman who was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma who was undergoing the same treatment as ANAND, during the same period, so we had something to compare, Luckily Mr MURTY also showed good response to the medicine VELCADE.

During this period I was giving home medicine therapy as well, reading a lot on internet getting to know how other people were treated with alternative medicines.

I had also received advice from my guru Jaggi Vasudeva that first try to get him in remission only then try other source of medicine .

 

Anyway we gave other 2 cycles of VELCADE combination regime to Anand and again the same blood samples, pet ct. and bone marrow examination

After 2 cycles we had to wait for a month to get the entire tests done.

To our utter astonishment, the myeloma had become very aggressive in this one month and was back to original readings.

We were very depressed, and did not know what to do?

Dr Surendra Reddy of Vijaya Diagnostic was a pillar of strength, and he said let your doctor try other medicines do not give up hope.

Dr Dattreya was also astonished since, he had always had a very good result with VELCADE regime.

It’s so difficult after 4 months to know that you are right on the same spot as you began.

In the meantime Anand was also depressed, but he said he is going to fight it and let’s go back and discuss with Dr ADVANI.

What is MULTIPLE MYELOMA

The term Multiple Myeloma (or MM) is the name for a type of cancer of the blood. The prefix myelo- means bone marrow and is the term identified with this condition because blood cells are generated in the bone marrow. This particular cancer is associated with white blood cells, which are a crucial part of the immune system. Due to the connection to the immune system this particular condition can have symptoms that are varied, and often the same as symptoms for other conditions due to their systemic nature. Because of this issue it is often hard to diagnose this particular condition. It is also generally considered an incurable condition, though it is possible to bring the condition into remission through such things as steriod treatments, chemotherapy and stem cell transplants.

Among the symptoms that can be caused by MM are the following: bone pains, infection, kidney failure, anemia, and neurological issues. Bone pains caused by MM are generally centralized in the area of the ribs and the spine, with pain increasing with activity. Sometimes these problems in the spine lead to spinal cord compression and issues associated with this condition. Infections that MM commonly causes are pneumonia and pyelonephritis, increased risk of infection is created by immune deficiency brought on as a part of MM. Renal failure due to MM is commonly brought on by hypercalcemia, or an increasing level of calcium in the blood as the bones break down. Anemia caused by MM occurs when the normal bone marrow in the bones is replaced by the infiltration of tumor cells. Issues of the neurological order are also brought on by hypercalcemia, which can lead to weakness, confusion and fatigue. Changes in the viscosity of the blood may also lead to headaches and visual changes.

While diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma may be difficult, due to the danger of the condition its symptoms should be taken seriously. While most or all of the symptoms that present from MM may be caused by other issues, if these have been ruled out then efforts should be undertaken to ascertain whether or not this blood cancer is the cause.
