Re: Good treatment turned poor or need a new oncologist

I had a transplant after Velcade put me in remission and I'm still doing well, although mu Lambda is rising and my ratio is dropping now. I had my transplant at Barnes-Jewish in STL and they did an extensive physical before and after. I didn't have any maintenance chemo however.
I would think each patient is obviously different and therefore a second opinion somewhere deeply involved in multiple myeloma would be warranted.
