That's wonderful news! Being in remission for 7 years is a significant achievement. Remission means your treatment has successfully reduced cancer levels to the point where tests don't show signs of the disease. This typically results in improved blood cell counts, normalized calcium levels, reduced bone pain, and overall better health. However, it's important to continue regular checkups and follow-up tests even during remission. While your myeloma is under control, monitoring is essential since the condition can change over time. Many people go through cycles of remission and relapse during their treatment journey. Stay connected with your healthcare team and maintain your scheduled appointments to ensure continued success in managing your condition.
