My Doc is suggesting tandem transplant due to my multiple high risk features and that I became refractory during induction therapy. Just looking for any feadback/experiences from anyone who has done this.
I am 56 and in great health except for the cancer. Only complications are bone lesions.
Bummer that it did not last longer.
I am 57 with multiple high risk factors so I went ahead with the tandems last summer they were 82 days apart. Initially I was MRD - at 6 months had a bit of a m-spike was reclassified at complete remission but not MRD-. Have held there for the last 6 months. In 2 months I can stop the Kyprolis and Dex just have the Pomolyst till it stops working. Excited to reduce my treatment by so much. The Doc was guessing I would stay in remission 18-22 months, I am doing all I can to beat that. Clean eating, exercising, yoga to just name a few things.
I pray the Car-T is longer lasting for you guys.
My husband had tandem stem cell transplants 2
Years ago and was in remission for 9 mos. Cancer is back now doing Car T therapy He had chromosome deletion and was high risk Light chain MM we are praying for remission again! He is61
Tandem transplants, also known as double transplants, involve two autologous stem cell transplants given in a row. Here are some key points:
- Usage: Often used for people with high-risk myeloma or when the first transplant did not work
- Process: The second transplant typically occurs six to twelve months after the Show Full Answer
My husband just had his 2nd Sct and doing well. He is 61 we see doc March He has light chain MM stage 2 w chromosome deletion. This is his only option. We got 3 different opinions. Get many opinions
Thanks
