Weekly Poll - Remission After Stem Cell Transplant - 2014

by Beacon Staff on Thu Jan 02, 2014 10:45 am

As a follow-up to a recent poll about how long myeloma patients remain in remission after their first stem cell transplant, this week's poll is specifically for those patients who are still in remission after their first transplant.

A few clarifications:

First, this poll is for myeloma patients who have not relapsed (such as your M-spike beginning to rise) since your first stem cell transplant. If you have relapsed already, check out last week's poll: "How long after your first stem cell transplant did your myeloma relapse?"
https://myelomabeacon.org/forum/weekly-poll-relapse-after-stem-cell-transplant-2013-t2640.html

Second, if you are a caregiver or family member of a myeloma patient who has had a stem cell transplant, feel free to answer on their behalf.

As always, feel free to post comments, thoughts, or feedback in the space below. For example, what treatments did you receive prior to your stem cell transplant? Did you receive consolidation or maintenance therapy after your stem cell transplant?

I was wondering if there would be value in conducting a similar poll for people who are in remission but who haven't had a stem cell transplant .
