Is it safe for myeloma patients to take melatonin as a sleep aid. I have heard conflicting points of view.

I had a bone marrow biopsy last Wednesday and just saw the results in my chart. I see the Dr on Feb 18. It looks like I am MRD-. Which is wonderful, however I am nervous about going off of the Lenalidomide 10 mg 21 days. I have been on this maintenance for three years starting after my stem cell transplant. I am ready for a break but feeling a bit overwhelmed with stopping. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how they are doing? Thanks for any input!!!

Can you get side effects six months later from Car-t I heard even a year later As anyone experienced this???

Has anyone had a stem cell boost after Cart t-cell therapy for bone marrow failure? G-CSF shots haven’t worked to boost neutrophils.

I’m going in for my transplant February 16. Any suggestions or last minute thoughts for my recovery?

Recently due to Insurance changes my insurance has forced me to switch to Generic Teva Lenalidomide. If your on Teva Lenalidomide and had been on Branded Revlimid in the past what has your experience been with the switch. Also if you changed back to Branded what was your reasoning or documentation you used to get an override to go back to Branded Rev? Thank you Rick

I was wondering if it is helpful to get a coach and submit your medical records to Health tree. Also is it hard to connect. Thank you.

How long will I live?

Hello, I was diagnosed with an almost 9cm solitary plasmacytoma on my sacrum in Oct 2025. I had an M-spike upon diagnosis which they said was due to the tumor being secretory. Bone marrow biopsy was clear. I was given 25 rounds of radiation to cure it, but the tumor has not responded (shrunk) at all. M-spike has come down roughly 50%. I'm in terrible pain all the time from this tumor. Does anyone have experience with something like this? I keep asking about a surgical solution, but they are saying chemo would be the next step. I would like to avoid chemo since it is a localized problem. Any advice is welcome. Also has anyone had one surgically removed?
