Members discussed what light chain values mean after CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma, with several sharing their own numbers and what changes prompted concern from their care teams. A recurring theme was the importance of watching for movement in only one light chain, staying in close contact with specialists, and asking detailed questions before joining clinical trials, including pushing back on procedures like bone marrow biopsies done without sedation. The community also offered strong emotional support, celebrating remissions, encouraging those facing new treatment decisions, and lifting each other up through the ongoing challenges of relapse and recovery.

Yes I was told I’m in complete stringent remission. I’m just thinking ahead to when I have my mm bloodwork in September what to think if the light chains went up from .6

Oh Sharon. I'm sorry you are having to deal with this at all. I am an advocate for clinical trials. I don't understand why you can't have the option of sedation for the bone marrow biopsies. I've had them both ways. A little sedation is a good thing.
