Managing Fitness During ASCT: Experiences?
AI-generated title
I am 61 1/2 years old. I was diagnosed at the end of March, 2023. I am getting ready for the ASCT at the end of October. As everyone here knows, this is very anxiety provoking time for me. I have just finished 6 cycles of DRVD induction therapy which worked very well. I am still at the very good partial response, but my M spike is very low (0.1) with K/L ratio at normal range. I am about to undergo 24 hours urine test and my second BMB. Hoping for good results. I have always been very active. I do a lot of hiking almost daily (5 miles + ), as well as interval training, free weights and kettlebells workouts, yoga and Pilates. I am really worried about loosing my conditioning during ASCT process. I know many things can go wrong that leave you fatigued and unable to get out of bed. I really hope I can at least walk a bit. I will be an impatient at a BMT unit for 2 1/2 to 3 weeks. The unit has small gym. Can someone with the similar pre ASCT physical conditioning share their experience?
