Hello! Newly diagnosed high risk (1q) at 34 years old in June 2023. On induction chemo for 4-6 cycles of Dara-RVD. Then Dana Farber wants to immediately do an auto stem cell transplant. The cancer is aggressive 70-80% of my bone marrow, but I have no detectable bone lesions. I am HARDCORE debating getting the SCT. Anyone else?

I had an SCT in Jan, 2022 and for about a year now I've been 21/7 cycle with 5mg revlimid after a monthly blood test. My August tests came back with low neutrophil counts and the oncological pharmacist pre-empted my cycle, said wait a week, redo the test and wait to hear from us before you start up again. I did that and they said the wbc levels were a little bit better, and to wait another week - maybe it'll fix itself - and repeat the process. Meanwhile, I'm extra concerned about infection and due to fly back east next month to visit my grandson. Has anybody had any experience with this? Thank you!

Does acupuncture provide any benefits to patients that are suffering from blood cancers and disorders? So the good news is that the answer is yes; it has a number of benefits on several levels. And the other very good news is that it’s very safe.

I’m new to this group and joined because I have relapsed and may be starting the car-t therapy soon. I wanted to “hear” how it’s working for other myeloma patients. Thank you for your thoughts❤️

Hi, If anyone had to take Sarclisa or Selinexor, can you please share what side effects did you experience? Also, how did you respond to these? Thanks in advance

Hi, Did anyone go through Sarclisa and Selinexor treatment and can share what side effects they experienced? Thanks

Hi All, I apologize for my earlier statement about my oncologist asking if I wanted to drive home and call the ambulance or drive self to hospital. I thought it was a very strange question. I asked him about it at Trmt today and was satisfied with his answer. This is not for those hearing this first time. Anyway I should and do apologize for speaking too fast.

My husband received CAR-T treatment on 5/21. He was then offered an opportunity to participate in a clinical trial using Cevostamab as maintenance follow up to CAR-T. He began this on 7/20. He has had two doses with the step up dosing being used. Thus, he has only had one full dose. After the full dose, he developed a small cough which remains today. One week after the full dose, he developed a full body rash. Has anyone else taking Cevostamab had a similar experience with cough and delayed rash?
