Going to have my stem cell transplant in 3/12 weeks. I will be hospitalized for 2 to 3 weeks I’m told. I’ve lost 30 plus pounds.
Will I be losing more weight? Will I gain weight months after my transplant? Should I get rid of my old me clothes? I don’t want to keep buying clothes. Please help. Thanks in advance for answering my questions. I truly appreciate it.
Ps I was on Revlimid , Velcade, Darzalex Fastpro and Dexamethasone.
I lost about 6 pounds, and promptly gained it all back! Good luck and I hope it goes well for you
It’s all about plant based diet but a lot of great information on MM and every illness/disease!
I just got my test results for my bi-monthly blood work and my creatinine level is now outside the normal range. Should this be a concern? I have a appointment with my oncologist and I thought I should bring this up to ease my tensions regarding any kidney issues.
I find a speciallist is good, he only deals with myeloma , which is relatively rare, and my regular oncologist deals with all cancers.
Well, i just pricked by a saline needle of my father's who is suffering from MM. So I was wondering if there is any chances of multiple myeloma to get spread by Needle stick injury?
No, you can't catch myeloma from a needle stick injury. But you can get other things like hepatitis and HIV. Hera, you should be using a needleless system to flush his lines.
my m spike was not detectable for 4 months,after that it's go up to 0,1 for 2 months and now I just received my blood result it is 0,2 so I'm start to worry, is that happen with any of u my friends, thanks
I will have the central line placed tomorrow and the collection, apheresis, 6/15 16. My question is, how do you feel over the next week following the collection?
Thanks,
Howard
What does it mean when your oncologist tells you that you have no active myeloma? It’s been 6 years since I was diagnosed.
You should have normal light chains and ratio. You should not have an m spike 0.0. No new bone lesions. No myeloma cells on bone marrow biopsy. Also MRD negative would be great👍💕
