A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

If yes, have you had less severe disease and a better prognosis?

Multiple Myeloma With Deletion 17p TP53.
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have progressed from MGUS 10/1019, Smoldering Multiple Myeloma 01/2022, to Multiple Myeloma stage 1 08/03/2023. I have IgG Kappa Multiple Myeloma with deletion 17p (1 arm) TP53.

I start VRD treatment the 14th of August 2023 with a SCT… read more
