Does Any One Have Information About CYTOXIN, (CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE)?
Ed's oncologist has said this would be the next treatment for his MM. (diagnosed 2016, had a SCT in 2017, been on Rev, Dara and pomylist, and for the past year and a half, Dara and Ninlaro). His kappa #s are creeping up, but Oncologist doesn't want to change just yet. We asked about Elranatamab and Talquetamab and he said they were too complicated, but what he told us about Cytoxin seemed more complicated than what we have read about either of the two newly approved ones. Just looking for… read more

Hi, Anyone Else Dealing With Extra-medullary Myeloma (EMM)?
My version of multiple myeloma is rare apparently. I have extra-medullary myeloma, and it has manifested itself in two liver lesions, and now a soft-tissue plasmacytoma on my right gluteus medius muscle.

Biopsy results… read more

Stem Cell Harvesting Involving Chemotherapy Before SCT?
I am approved for a SCT. Today I went to get my decision from the commission. They want to collect cells before the holidays and freeze them, and the transplant itself to be after the New Year. It's strange to me though that they told me they wanted to administer chemotherapy during the stem cell collection, I quote what the doc said: "Collection cells/chemotherapy/cell collection again"
Isn't the chemotherapy done immediately before the transplant itself? Have any of you had this type of cell… read more

SCT Harvesting
Im getting my stem cells harvested next month. Does someone have to be with me or can they sit with me while it’s being done? Thanks
