Jumping Rope Post-SCT: Anyone Else?
AI-generated title
Prior to diagnosis (one year ago in 1 week!) I was lifting heavy, had even gained 10 pounds of muscle in the year before diagnosis. SCT was 3 months ago. I am walking daily with a weighted vest, but now have this very round belly that I would like to get rid of, and get myself back into shape. When I was lifting, between sets I would jump rope. Several sites recommend staying away from jumping rope because of the impact, but I think with proper form it's very low-impact. Anyone else here jumping rope? It's such an efficient exercise, I'd love to get back into it.

Bay Area Physical Therapist Recommendations?
AI-generated title
I have been suffering from knee pain since about 3 years. Initially there was lot of swelling in the knee and the doctor removed some fluid to loosen the knee. I have been doing yoga and biking to strengthen the thighs and calf muscles ever since, have been successful to avoid any major recurrence of swelling and its now reduced by about 90%. My doctor recommended to have a physical therapy to work on the remaining issue. Any recommendations for a good physical therapist in the San Francisco bay area? I live in the city of Fremont in the east bay. Thanks in advance 🙏

MRD Negative Possible with Positive Biopsy?
AI-generated title
Good evening! I recently completed four cycles of DVRd after being diagnosed with MM presenting with slight anemia, but no other CRAB criteria. I have achieved MRD negativity in my blood, and other numbers such at B2M, MSpike, FLC, etc. seem to be returning to normal. I’m awaiting the results of the ClonoSeq on my bone marrow. However, my BM biopsy results still report plasma cell neoplasm. Is it possible for the ClonoSeq to return MRD negativity with the bone marrow biopsy exam still showing this? I’m wondering if those MM cells are still in the process of dying off. Thank you!
