Sorry to hear about your dad. I want to pass some important medical information on to you. (I'm a physician and unfortunately, these are things his doctors likely do not know):
1) He should go on a gluten-free diet immediately. Go to pubmed and put in the search terms "multiple myeloma AND gluten". You will find many scientific articles documenting an association between gluten antibodies and multiple myeloma. In fact, some researchers think multiple myeloma may just be an extreme form of celiac disease. He's got nothing to lose and it might really change the course of his illness. The diet must be 100% strict in order to help him.
2) He needs to have his vitamin D level checked. It is often low in multiple myeloma and low vitamin D is associated with increased cancer risk.
3) Go to pubmed and put in "Multiple myeloma AND curcumin". Curcumin is the substance in the spice turmeric that gives curry its yellow color. There's a pretty encouraging study recently released on its use in multiple myeloma. Again - very safe to try, nothing to lose.
