Myeloma sucks, that said it can be controlled with treatment in many
cases.

The drug bortezomib (Velcade) is working wonders, as are multiple
combinations of chemotherapy agents -revlimid, velcade, melphalan,
decadron, etc.

Google up the International Myeloma Foundation and read their pages or
request a free information pack.

Don't freak out on older statistics of prognosis/mortality as the
numbers have not caught up with new treatments.
