Navigating Medicare Part D for Revlimid Coverage?
AI-generated title
Hello all. Does Medicare Part D usually cover Revlimid? Should we be looking for a specific Part D plan? Right now we have very good commercial insurance that fully covers it, but we will be going on Medicare with a gap plan starting in July 2024. Thank you for any suggestions you may have. We're new to Medicare.

Seeking Teclistamab Success Stories
AI-generated title
I have been on this journey since May 2021. 3 stem cells and multiple treatments. I’ve been in remission and been MRD several times. Just can’t seem to find the right Combination. I just started Teclistamab in June and it’s had reduced all my tumors and put me MRD negative I need to connect to those who have been on the trails for Teclistamab and have good results. I need some encouragement. Last year was rough. I’m at UAMS in Litlle Rock. Help is needed.

Hi all, diagnosed earlier this year with SMM at 42. Learning as much as I can about the journey I am now on and trying to not think about the potential outcomes. Glad to have these resources to rely on. Looking for others dealing with this at a younger age.

Planning for SCT: Timeline & What to Expect
AI-generated title
My husband was dxd in August and is just finishing cycle 3 of induction therapy at Mayo Clinic in AZ. They told us he would do 4-6 cycles before SCT. Markers have been moving in the right direction. Our 3 visit with hematologist is next week. At what point should we press for a more definitive timeline in terms of scheduling the transplant? At last visit, we were told we were looking at January 2024 most likely but it seems like this is somewhat flexible….or is it.? How close an analysis is done that may cause him to need a full 6 cycles of induction therapy? Can anyone tell me even more specific questions to ask hematologist at this point? For SCT, he will be transferred to a completely different medical team. We live close to clinic and are told SCT will be done outpatient. How challenging will it be for me as the caregiver?

AI-generated title
I am 30 days into the Talley chemo treatment. My Car-T lasted 22 months. So far I’m feeling fine. Other than losing my sense of taste, I’m doing good.

My husband had car-t 4 months ago. His platlets are still low and receives hemoglobin shots. He also has to go for weekly bloodwork and s once monthly iGG infusion. Doing good otherwise but we had many tough spots. Anyone else experience low blood numbers that took a while to come back? They said the car-t cells are still very active.
