Has Any One With Stage 1 Multiple Myeloma Had A Stem Cell Transplant? If Not, What Maintenance Program Are You On?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have Stage 1 multiple myeloma. I started treatment in January because of proteins in my urine. I am on Velcade, Revlimid and dexamethasone. I am on my 4th cycle.
