My M Proteins Have Been Ticking Up For The Last Three Months. Anyone Else Had This Happen?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed in Sept. 2022, after a four year old knee replacement became infected. Started induction treatment right after diagnosis, which brought numbers down significantly. Had an autologous stem cell transplant in Feb. 2023. It helped, but did not eradicate M Proteins. Six weeks after the transplant, I started maintenance treatment. The M Proteins continued to go down, until recently.

After talking with my oncologist, I'm upping my Revlimid dose. Fingers crossed that it helps.

Treatment is going well, except for this uptick. Hopefully adjusting my Revlimid dosage will help.
