Has anyone had a problem getting their vaccines post asct? My transplant was February 2025. I received an influenza vaccine in August 2025. I’m due for a second one now, but the pharmacy won’t give it to me. I’ve tried a couple of pharmacies. According to the transplant surgeons vaccine schedule, I am also supposed to get a third one in July. Not sure why this has to be so difficult. Thanks for any advice.

I see I received a coach suggestion but I can’t send them a message. Her name is Lou Sears. I would love to connect with them.

How many people are relying on clonoSEQ testing to determine if they have relapsed? I have been getting this test done every six months and my specialist is recommending that I do it annually instead. She feels the light chain blood panel is a better indicator of a possible relapse. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet and am curious if anyone else has dealt with this issue.

"It took me probably the better part of a day the first time to figure out what kind of myeloma I had." Dave Braucht’s story is a familiar one. Between different labs and multiple specialists, his medical history was scattered everywhere. By getting his genetics and lab work organized into one visual interface, he cut hours of confusion down to minutes of clarity. Dave is sharing his experience this Myeloma Awareness Month to help others feel more in control of their own data. Watch full video here: https://htree.org/myelomaawarenessmonth2026

So I'm reaching out to anyone on here who has done quadruplet therapy (either dara VRD or dara KRD) and has translocation 11;14. Just wondering how you have responded to your therapy and whether you have decided to proceed to ASCT or defer that to a later time. I have one more treatment left in cycle 5. As of end of cycle 4 my M spike had decreased from 3.05 to 1.18, my kappa has gone from 103 to 21, and my IGg down from 4500 to 1780. i don't think my m spike will go to 0 by the end of cycle 6 but I'd still rather try to extend therapy at least for two more cycles to see how low I can get those levels. Just searching for those of you who may be or have been in the same situation. FYI-I am being treated at MSK.

A friend of mine on east coast was recently diagnosed with myeloma and would like to see a myeloma specialist at Dana-Farber or Memorial Sloan Kettering. I told him that I would ask if you have any recommendations for myeloma specialists at either of these organizations. I’d appreciate any names that I can pass along. Thanks!

Preparing to start on a clinical trial at U of Penn. It is a new trial with Bispecific antibody Elranatamab (Elrexfio) and investigational drug Inobrodib (CCS1477). Is there anyone out there that is in this trial or anyone on one of these drugs and if so how is it going (response/side effect profile). The Bispecific is commercially available.
