ABECMA
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is anyone else disillusioned about the qualifying factors leading to getting ABECMA therapy? My oncologist recommends that I get the therapy. He contacted the top doctor at Siteman Cancer ctr here in st louis, missouri. He was sent all my records and it was determined that my multiple myeloma is being at a stalemate (kept from getting worse or better) by infusions of Impliciti and pomylidimide(25 days/30). So I'm doing good according to this other doctor. I have to get much worse before I'm… read more

How Many Of You Have Had The Evusheld Shot/s?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was going to get it next week; waiting two weeks after the newest vaccine for COVID. I'm going to wait longer..... I want to see how others fare with it.
After my complaining that I was not eligible ( because I am in remission?), and now I want to wait anyway. Anyway, we'll see.
My GP said I was not eligible, but my Oncologist encourages it. I had a phone consultation with my Oncologist last week and I asked if he would approve my waiting . He said it's up to me.

I had Evusheld last June, but it is no longer recommended.

Looking For Feedback From Anyone That Has Done CarT Therapy?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

There is a new study that I am potentially eligible for involving cart T cells. I am newly diagnosed have not started treatment, at a high risk for leukemia so need to delay any stem cell transfusions for as long as possible. The study is looking for people in my category to see if doing the standard 4 rounds of rvd, stem cell harvesting then cat T cell therapy will give results similar or better then the current car T cell therapy after 4 relapses
