Maintenance therapy for multiple myeloma (MM) post-bone marrow transplant (BMT) typically involves ongoing treatment to prolong remission and improve overall survival. Here are some key points:

- Lenalidomide: Often recommended due to its effectiveness and relatively well-tolerated side effects. It has been shown to deepen the response over time and is usually continued indefinitely as long as it is tolerated.

- Side Effects: Discuss potential side effects with your oncologist to manage them effectively.

Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best maintenance therapy for your specific situation.
