Does Any One Have Information About CYTOXIN, (CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE)?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Leyden, MA

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)?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Jersey Shore, PA

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. The liver lesions resolved under treatment of Daratumamab-Pomalidomide-Dexamethasone, over 18 months. In April and July 2024, MRI results showed a growing plasmacytoma on my muscle, which has been biopsied and is definitely MM, with the same markers as before, CD138 and CD56. Biopsy results… read more

It sounds like you are knowledgeable about the treatments. Our bodies are like cars, they replace parts that don’t works or if that doesn’t work, replace another one, then fix the dents.… read more

If you have become refractory to Revlimid, then the other IMIDS will probably not work. Depending upon your cytogenetics, you could use Venetoclax (t11,14) or go with a CAR-T. Make sure you are… read more

Stem Cell Harvesting Involving Chemotherapy Before SCT?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sofia, Bulgaria

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

Unless they give you high dose Cytoxan before harvesting. My center did. Never doing that again 🤨
