I did went in remission without a transplant

I was diagnosed a year and a half ago but went into remission after 8 months of RVD treatments. My oncologist in Boston, Dr. Paul Richardson, a world renown MM specialist, told me a SCT would be riskier for me than not having one. In fact, he told me that recent studies have shown that a SCT may delay a relapse, but doesn't appear to extend one's life. I continue to work full time as a systems analyst so for me having a SCT would also jeopardize my employment situation. As far as I'm concerned, if treatments can tame the MM without a SCT then he's better off...
