Decision to make
Hi everyone, first time here in this link. I was diagnosed with Multiple myeloma in Dec 2024 and have been in treatment since then. I first started with the 4 drug treatment in February 2025 (daratumumab (Darzalex), bortezomib (Velcade), lenalidomide (Revlimid), and dexamethasone (Dara-VRd). Everything was working good and i did not have any side effects, but in april we had to take velcade off due to a rash. Then i did my stem cell harvesting but did not do my transplant as my numbers went from 45 percent cancer cells to 1 percent. I then continued with the maintenance of dara and dexmathasone, revlimid. we did a biopsy and pet scan in december of 2025, my pet scan came back great with no active cancer, but my biopsy came back that my numbers went back to 10 percent. We are starting a new treatment next week of carfilzomib and pomalidome. Dr is telling me that i should really think about doing the stem cell transplant as we already have the good cells stored. i want to hear from everyone here, what are your thoughts and experiences about the stem cell transplant and is it worth it as i am 62 years old at the moment. please let mek now your thoughts and experiences of your stem cell transplant. Thank you !
