High risk smoldering myeloma protocol after 24 cycles of Revlimid?

@coynelane I echo the welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
I just finished round 10 of Revlimid, at a very low dose. Due to other health issues, we are taking a very slow approach to this, in order to not have my kidneys fail. Curiosity has me asking if your doctors consider you to be active multiple myeloma versus smoldering mm, seeing that you have had a harvest of stem cells already? Have they shared their plan for you, yet?

Thank you for your greeting. My status is smoldering myeloma. The purpose for stem cell collection was to have stem cells available in the event I might need a transplant in the future. Furthermore, the collection needed to be completed before prolonged Revlimid treatment would make it difficult to collect sufficient stem cells. The current plan is to complete 24 cycles of Revlimid. My doctor has not indicated the plan after 24 cycles, and I will inquire about his thoughts at my next appointment.
