Hi everyone, what's your opinion (or your doctor's) on getting re-vaccinated for common vaxs like measles, mumps, etc., after having undergone a successful autologous SCT?
Hi Keith, I received all the vaccines after my stem cell transplant. I started out with five vaccines at once. I asked if I could cut down on the vaccines for three at a time, I dont totally… read more
No relapse here.
Shipmates
I was in perfect health, well maybe a few pounds overweight. I never took any pills except for my migraines. No high blood pressure no high cholesterol, no history of cancer in my family. I’m the first. I had my blood tests done at my physical in November 2020. Everything was fine, no problem. March and April 2021, I received my Covid vaccines and in November, 2021, I was told I had way to much protein in my blood. I needed to go to an oncologist and was diagnosed with… read more
Thank you for your reply.
How do you deal with the isolation?
You do have to wait as the childhood shots MMR are derived from live viruses. Can't have that for at least a year as your immune system is still compromised
I had to get all my vaccines including pneumonia💕
My platelets dropped to I think 70,000 they said. I'm on revlmed I was in the hospital for 2 weeks

I don't want to overlook the fact that they are coming out with new vaccines that are more affective against some of the newer variants. I don't know if I should just get the original vaccine or wait for one of the newer ones. I'm curious to know what is being… read more
@A MyMyelomaTeam Member That's interesting. My doctors office told me 2 weeks ago that Evusheld was pulled from the market. Now I'm curious. Thanks for the info.
How long did your doctor recommend that you remain isolated from work/visitors after you went home following your SCT? Thank you
His will take two years to complete. When he had his stem cell transplant done we were given a booklet that told the process. Guess what am reading not every one has the same process.

My partner realized that was not nice his attitude about my choice wearing mask, that today we were in an indoor concert, and he respected my choice to wear mask. Thanks for your supportive answers in which empowered me in to overcome something that it is a strong value for me
In regard the incident about the previous night, when I went a party, and I wear a mask in indoor.
