drug free interval between chemo and transplant

by Anonymous on Sat Dec 22, 2012 10:00 am

i am a female 74 years old. My heart, lung and kidney function is normal. On November i had VRD-PACE chemo and i would like to ask which is the best date to take the transplant. I had D-PACE on November 10-14 and Velcade on November 10,14,18,21 and Revlimid on November 7-27. I didn't have any side effect from the chemo and the pace was reduced to 75%. When is the best date that i shoul start with the Autologous stem cell transplant? How much time can i stay without treatment before i should start to think about relapse? Right now i am in CR.

Thank you all in advance and Merry Christmas.
Jane
