Beginning DVR-D: What to Expect?
I was diagnosed in October, 2025 with Kappa light chain after my PCP found elevated protein in my blood during my yearly checkup. I never had any pain or symptoms although 3 bone lesions were discovered during a PET scan. I started DVR-D treatment on December 2, 2025. I feel great! I’m 74 and qualify for SCT because of overall excellent health. My oncologist thinks I should do it, but I told her I wasn’t sure I want to. I’m going to U of Michigan tomorrow to find out about the process. Any opinions? I have heard that some people have opted not to do it. Any regrets? Did you relapse without the SCT. and how long after induction was complete did you relapse. This is such a big decision.
