What Treatment Options Have You Used For Relapsing MM?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Unfortunately, after my SCT in Dec 2022, the MM has relapsed. It only took 10 months before it started to show up in blood tests. I had a bone marrow biopsy and the plasma cell percentage has now doubled from the value when I was initially diagnosed. So I'm curious to know if others have relapsed after a SCT and what was the next method of treatment used

Going From A Darzalex Faspro/Revlimid/Dexemetesone Regimen To A Darzalex Only.
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been on Darzalex Faspro/Revlimid/Dexemetesone for almost 2 years now. One year in we lowered the Rev dose from 25mg to 10mg. Myeloma numbers have continued to look good, so we are considering stopping the Rev altogether at the 2 year mark in April 2023. We will continue with the Darzalex shots and blood tests once a month and see what happens. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member

Good information. Thanks, Jamie.

Chemo Between Harvesting And SCT?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I made my harvesting and I'm wainting for date for SCT. Probably there will be a month or more waiting time. Should I do 1 more cycle chemo in this time or no meds is better?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member
