Life Expectancy
Life expectancy or survival rate is the length that people with stage 3 myeloma would expect to live after they start treatments. Based on the collected data from a lot of patients, scientists suggest the following average number:
– Stage 1: Around 5 years
– Stage 2: Around 3 to 4 years
– Stage 3: Around 2 to 3 years
Keep in mind that the survival rates are measured from the beginning of the treatment. These are just the average numbers. Your exact life expectancy will depend on many other factors mentioned below. [4]
