Hi Anand, I am very sorry about your brother's cancer. I am a little familiar with MM because the father of my ex wife had it. He survived for 6 years before finally dying. Since we did not live near him, I know very little about his chemotherapy. I do know that they used radiation to treat localized tumors that were causing him pain or were putting him in danger of having a bone break.

I wish there was a way to predict how long your brother has left. Just based on the experience of my 65 year old ex-FIL, if your bother gets aggressive treatment, he could live several years. I would talk to his own medical team about this concern.

You and your brother are in my thoughts and prayers.
