    I don't know of any published data that would answer your question. I also think the expected survival time for a case like you have mentioned depends very, very much on factors such as age and the general health of the patient.

    Since you are in Italy, perhaps you can contact Dr. Mario Boccadoro or Dr. Antonio Palumbo at the University of Turin. They are multiple myeloma experts and opinion leaders, and they should be able to answers your questions.

    Good luck!
