Can Multiple Myeloma Be Caused In Brain?

Hello,my husband has multiple myeloma,and today has been behaving very strange,saying things that make no sense.He has fallen and broken bones many times,and when he fell,always hit his head.He is in a wheelchair,cause he can't walk anymore. Could the M.M. be in his head or brain now??

Base on your description, it is more than likely that the myeloma has spread to his brain. His treatment history would have helped. If he has taken treatment for the myeloma then his disease has become resistant and you need to consider second line therapy in consultation with your oncologist. If no treatment has been taken then you should consider taking some. Another possibility is that due to repeated trauma and weakened bones, there has been some bleed inside his skull leading to these symptoms. A CT scan of the head will settle the issue.
