What Causes Disorientation And UTI When Suffering From Multiple Myeloma?
My mother has end stage Multiple Myeloma. She has become very confused & disorientated due to Hypercalciemia & a Urniary Tract Infection. In the last few days she hasn't been able to toilet herself or feed herself. Does this mean she only has days left to live
