Re: 0.1 g/dL M-spike and holding

by Tigerboy74 on Mon Apr 10, 2017 2:14 pm

I'm one year from my stem cell transplant, and it hit zero after my first maintenance. Went up to a 0.35 after I took a month or so off of maintenance being that I needed a hip replacement. After my second treatment, I was back at zero.

Very odd, but I am just going to see where things head as well.

Hoping you see that zero soon, brother!

What type of treatment regimen are / were you on post transplant?


Hi f cancer - Sorry I missed your question.

They put me on Revlimid maintenace, 10 mg/day, shortly after I recovered from the stem cell transplant. I've been on it ever since (4 years, now).

I just got full test results from April 21 (that happens to be 9 months post transplant). My M-spike is "too small to quantify".

Thank you all for your replies and support. It sure feels good to see continued movement.
