Ongoing Blood Monitoring: Which Markers Do You Track?
AI-generated title
Hi Everyone I was dignosed in January 25,have completed 4 cycles of Induction, am starting Stem Cell mobilisation next week and all being well will do the Auto SCT in June. I had 75% plasma cells infiltration at diagnosis,Fish showed extra signals of FGFR3,CCND1 and MAF suggesting gain of at least part of chromosomes for p,11q and 16q-so I have high risk genomic abnormalities,.and I was 45000mg/L with my Kappa Light Chains, which I suppose puts me in the ultra high risk group. In Australia the 4 line induction therapy including Dara has not been approved ,although it is allowed as a second line treatment if standard induction doesn't work.Im guessing its a cost issue as all MM treatment in Australia is free,but given my doctor thought it neccessary and most people in these groups (from the US anyway)got it and my doctor has classed me as ultra high risk,I found it a bit frustrating. However I have responded very well to the 3 line therapy so she is not overly concerned,Anyway I digress.. Could you tell me exactly what markers you are looking at from your blood tests on an ongoing basis? Thankyou.
