My father was diagnosed with MM 2.5 years ago and doctors said its already in an advanced stage. We did treatments to slower the progression but he grew weaker and weaker. He had extreme water retention and fluid tapping had to be done every 2 weeks with continuous doses of albumin. His pottasium levels showed sudden spikes and was admitted in the hospital a lot of times. Lately he was not responding to treatments. Unfortunately he passed away in his sleep a few days ago. He was the only person in my family who used to support me all the time. I miss him so much.

Great explanation of the pathophysiology. It's a shame most medical school professors never reach anywhere near this level of clarity or integration in their lectures.

The easiest way to remember symptoms: CRAB (hyperCalcemia, Renal failure, Anaemia, Bone lesions) :)

I honestly could not study for hematology without all these youtubers resuming and clarifying the info. My professor sadly has the information so jumbled up and goes back and forth so often I can't make sense of what is going on. This video however is so well explained! I owe you for helping me understand this class!

Armando Hasudungan deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

You have explained the entire concept in the best possible way.It was crisp, clear and simple .I am thankful to you for this .

Lost a friend to this earlier this week. He was only in his 50s. There was no cure and chemo didn't help but prolong his suffering.😪

I am a healer and i have a patient suffering from mm..this video helped me a lot to treat my patient.. thank you so much

[emvee]

6 years on this is still the best video, thanks

Thanks Armando for your skilled pictorial explanations of this very complex condition. I have a friend who has been diagnosed with MM and he quite understandably struggles to fully grasp its various possible symptoms. Your artistic talent helps tremendously.

The best channel and dare I say..learning tool for us medical students that I have ever seen!

Thank you so much for this explanation, I am currently having tests done for multiple myeloma and this is the most thorough explanation of what it is. 👍

[simonaliolyte]

Genetic tests could actually reveal some mutations like: t(4;14) t(14;16), del (17p), del (13). Thanks for the great work ! Also, it would be great if you could provide the final picture access for download :))

Remember CRABI - hyperCalcaemia, renal failure, anaemia, bone lesions, infection

[stojcecitkuseva]

this explanation is so good that it makes me wanna cry

[mosaleeuw]

Thank you for the help sir, people in South Africa are benefiting from your videos.

[hemmamistry]

Thankyou for this Armando, so much easier to understand with your pictures and explanation rather than reading a text book!

[selrahc]

Thank from France! As a student nurse in the last year (third year) Your video help me alot to understand the multiple myeloma

My dad is undergoing blood and imaging tests and biopsies to determine whether the plasmacytoma tumor in his t11 vertebrae is local or if it is multiple myeloma. Your presentation helped me understand the physiological processes going on so I could explain it better to him.

Invaluable service you provided me and my family…thank you.

My dad was my age when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. He died 15 months later. That was 39 years ago. I am experiencing some of his symptoms and I am prepared to take it on if it is positive. These days the treatments are so much better and maybe my dad would have lived longer had they known how to treat him back in 1985
