So thankful to find this group! 52 year old mother of three grown children (2 in college), wife, and RN in a very busy short-stay ambulatory clinic. I was diagnosed with Kappa IGg MM 12/22 and started induction therapy of VRD in 1/23. Doing pretty well with this for the most part. Looking at SCT in Sept or October, we think, at this time. I have not needed to miss work for my Velcade treatments other than leaving a little early once a week but am curious about transplant recovery. I understand it can take a few months. My job is quite physical, and I stand all day so am concerned about being able to physically perform as needed. For those that have had the SCT, how long did it take to get back to “normal”, or close to it?
