question: My Mom had a single Plasmacytoma in her thoracic spine in 2011 and was treated with radiation. She has been in remission until this week when her oncologist found 2 tumors or places of malignancy on her hip and her ribs. Mom is almost 85 and when she told her oncologist she did not want chemotherapy the oncologist suggested we get Hospice on board. Not sure what her blood work showed but can I assume from the Hospice suggestion that she has less than 1 yr to live w/out Chemotherapy?
