My response to anyone seeking advice on MM is to get to the best docs in your area!! I travel to Dana Farber (now Mass General Brigham) in Boston, where the docs there research and treatl only ONE type of malignancy: in my case,multiple myeloma Stage 3. Absolutely NO comparison with the local doc I see! I had a SCT in 2016 and am maintained on Revlimidcm 15 mg by mouth 21 days on and 7 days off. Fortunately, the cost of the drug has come down; after.soaring to $18k/month, it went generic and is now around $7k/month. Medicare has covered everything, with the exception of medication, for which I receive a grant from the LLS.
