I am 64 years old, diagnosed with MM last August. I was in a medical trial but ended up in the "control" group receiving a ASCT in June. My latest bone marrow aspiration is in....I am MRD Negative (1:100,000)! I am happy beyond belief. We always hope for these results, but don't believe that it can really happen! Well, it does! Happy to share my experiences with anyone. I am posting this both to share this great news and also to advertise that ASCT really does work. It's doesn't work for everyone and not as well for everyone, but it is still the Gold Standard of Treatment for Newly Diagnosed MM patience - I am a living example!
