Curious to know if there is a correlation or common link between pancreatic cancer and multiple myeloma.

Well, my family membership has treated this disorder on stage 4th stage since by Velcade, Revlimid, and dexamethasone since March 2011 at Stanford Hospital after having two stents in her bile duct. Also had acupuncture and Chinese herb tea at private clinic around one year and half.

Then her two tumors, one 15 cm on pelvic and one 9 cm on pancreas without being able to have a surgical process because of been too big after three times of biopsy. There are very successful treatments without a BMT and any transfusion.

Now, she only do need maintenance chemotherapies by two Velcades a month as a cycle without find tumors in her body under CT screens in Stanford, UCSF, and VGH in Taiwan, and feel very health after one or two hours of walking and shopping.

It might be only one case that the patient still is alive on 50 cases of English speaking countries under my knowledge.

My mother was diagnosed with multiple myeloma about 5 years before she died. Later, she was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and passed away in 3 weeks.

My question is could multiple myeloma be a early indicator or pancreatic cancer?

My family membership has an pancreatic tumor, I thought mutation of plasma cells attaching pancreatic organ growing up rapidly in early stage after biopsies. It is not orginal cancers' cells from pancrea so that it is treatable, but not curable under pathologist explanation. It is rarely fifty cases in English speaking countries.

But other cases of pancreatic cancer are orginal from pancreas, it has to perform another biopsy to make sure the cause of either abnormal plasma cells or cancer cells of pancreatic organ. We know pancreatic cancer is the most worse cancer in life span.

My ex-colleague's husband, an fish physiologist, an instructor in National Yang Ming Medical University, told me that T cells of lymphocytes are from our thymus, but B cells of lymphocytes are from pancreatic organ in the fish species.
