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.

Thank you, @rajendrakumarojha I feel educated! Unfortunately though, this is an area where I am totally unknowledgeable but @colleenyoung has some great suggestions, I hope you will find them useful.
Congratulations too on being a VGP patient!
JK
