Thank you. Not sure what car-t is but will look it up. During the 6 years cancer free did you have treatments of any kind? I am velcade and darzalex and revlimid, and steroid. And I am not sure what treatment is next step..revlimid or velcade once a month. I see doctor in 2 weeks and he will refer me to others if I want to do sct. Haven't decided.

My husband has had treatment free time. Including a 6 year block and a 3 year block. He has spent more time with no treatment than on treatment. They told us at the time when he was diagnosed that he could expect to have this disease managed for life. We really like to take advantage of treatment free time.
Have you been on IMF to read up about myeloma?

We attended a patient and family seminar and learned so much. Then we took that new found information with us to Mayo Rochester when he was evaluated, I can’t begin to tell you how helpful it was to have all of that information.
If you are considering ASCT, do you have a location picked out or approved?

Hi
I was on maintenance velcade shot once a month then in 2021 I was changed to ninlaro because the velcade was causing neuropathy. I also go xgeva injection once a month
Car-t cell is when they harvest your T cells then genetically alter them to kill the cancer cells.
Good luck and prayers for your journey
