My husband just started on treatment last week. So glad to hear about your situation.
I was asking how long can one stay without taking maintenance medication. I haven’t taken one for a year! Has anyone stoped the medication for a longer time
Hi.
Everyone is different. Even though we all have MM the medication may work great for one person and not for another.
Best to you

In one study, people who did not take maintenance medication after a stem cell transplant stayed in remission for around 30 months. However, those who took lenalidomide as maintenance therapy sustained remission for around 57 months. This highlights the importance of maintenance therapy in prolonging remission.

Great question! When I completed a clinical trial back in 2017, I stopped all treatment for a year and half...then my numbers climbed up again where I began treatment again.
