VDPACE resistance?

by Stann on Wed Nov 09, 2011 9:33 pm

Prior to my tandem transplants, I went through a round of VDPACE which dropped my Mspike down from 2 to 0.6 I then went through a round of DPACE (the Velcade being left out due to neuropathy--although slight) and it did absolutely nothing.
Now here I am post tandem transplant with a detectable Mspike.
I want to be aggressive, as I'm still in my 40's and I've handled all prior chemo really well.
Question: What are the chances that leaving out the Velcade on the DPACE resulted in the "no action" against the myeloma?
Is it worth having another round of VDPACE to find out?
I'm just getting my hair back and am tired of being bald, but...
