Life expectancy will vary greatly depending on how early your MM was diagnosed, the type of MM you have, your age, pre-existing conditions, and attitude.

Prognosis for people with multiple myeloma depends on a few factors. First what stage you out when you're diagnosed. Second I will you respond to treatment. There are people who have lived more than 20 years with the disease.
New treatments are being developed which may increase the life expectancy for people diagnosed with multiple myeloma.

Originally it was five years however I have met people that have lived 20 years and it hasn't come back yet. They just go in for their routine tests.
