@rajendrakumarojha Hi R.K. Welcome to Connect. I am post-transplant (liver) but I have no idea at all what SCT or VGP mean! Would you mind explaining? I did google it but it seems those initials stand for more than one thing.

Hi! I used the terms SCT & VGP as been used by the hospital in Kolkata,India at the time of transplant. In multiple myeloma they use 6 months Chemotherapy to remove M bands in blood and then take out approx. 3 million Stem Cells from blood for transplant. SCT stands for Stem Cells Transplant and VGP stands for Very Good Progress of the patient.
Hope, the reply clears the terms.
Thanks & regards.
R.K.Ojha.
