Multiple Myeloma statistics?

I want to know the mortality rate at 1,2,3,4,5+ after the detection of the cancer, and what is the probability of dying of this kind of cancer. I know it has no cure, but it has treatment. For example, if i'm diagnised now with it, and i take the proper treatment, what changes do i have to survive 1 year more, 2 years,etc. I want to know too at what stage of the cancer (stage I II or III) the stem cell transplant is made. any links will be apreciated. thanks.

Overall, about 55 out of every 100 people (55%) diagnosed with myeloma in England and Wales live for at least a year after diagnosis. About 23 out of every 100 (23%) live for at least 5 years. And about 12 live for at least 10 years.

Like all survival statistics, these relate to people diagnosed some time ago - in this case, up to 2001. The picture may have improved since then. Figures from another source say that about 29 out of every 100 people diagnosed will live for at least 5 years. Another source says that even after the myeloma has been treated and then come back again, about 22 out of every 100 live for at least another 5 years after this first relapse.
