Don, I definitely would continue a maintenance program to keep the Myeloma cells at bay, especially since your remission wasn’t deep enough to keep the Myeloma from coming back the first time. Love, Marcia 🌸

Yes, called "maintenance". Seems like it will be a "rest-of-your-life" protocol.

Yes, we have to keep taking them until something better comes along.
