(prHWY.com) August 16, 2012 - Singapore, Singapore -- Currently, some people are being afflicted by multiple myeloma. It is a type of cancer starting and developing into plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cells. When a person develops the disease, he or she will show several symptoms, including bone pain usually in the back and ribs, broken bones usually in the spine, terrible tiredness, thirst, frequent infections, frequent fevers, weight loss, nausea, constipation and frequent urination. Through an x-ray for a broken bone, it may be suspected by doctors. After a routine blood test, it may be diagnosed.
In the past, conventional chemotherapy could allow the patients to survive for two to three years. Now, a stem cell transplant is seen as the best procedure for all newly diagnosed myeloma patients who are identified to be suitable for the transplant. According to some reports, stem cell transplant allows most patients with multiple myeloma to survive for more than five years.
After a stem cell transplant is done, the patients usually go to a hospital to undergo checkups at intervals. Through checkups, the changes in their health can be noticed timely. If any health problems are found during the process, they usually inform their doctors of these items in time. At that time, their doctors will do some work to see if the cancer returns. Even if the cancer is believed to be totally killed after the treatment, it is still possible that the cancel returns again as unluckily some undetected myeloma cells may not be detected in the treatment.
If you are a patient with multiple myeloma and considering receiving stem cell transplant, you can visit the hospital in Singapore to know more useful information about a stem cell transplant. There you will learn clearly how stem cell transplant is conducted as well as the cost of this procedure.
