Has Anyone Opted Out Of A Stem Cell Transplant Due To The Complexity Of The Procedure?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

At the moment I have SMM but I will need treatment soon but I am thinking of opting out of having a stem cell transplant.
It sounds like such a complex and difficult procedure to go through.
Just wondering if anyone else has opted out of it?
I know some people are not suitable for the procedure though.
Have a good day Toni

I opted out...seems to me stem cell trans ruins quality of life for very little gain...on the other end. find the meds that control the MM...and enjoy life!

What Does Remission Mean In Multiple Myeloma?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I find it interesting that many of you say that you are in "remission." My husband's Hematology Oncologist says that he never tells his patients that they are in "remission" because if one looked hard enough in a MM patient, they could always find some cancer cells hiding somewhere in the body. Has anyone else ever been told this before?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member

maybe the term should be changed to " Respite"

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is it common for a doctor to see that the kappa light chain is out of normal range and the IgG is raising and the M spike is stable? She’s keeping me on the same medication 4 mg of Ninlaro every Wednesday for three weeks and 21 days on 25 mg of Revlimid 4 mg of decamethazone on the Wednesdays that I take the in Ninlaeo?

I’m confused and perplexed.
