Hi, Researchers and Most doctors still lean toward having Myeloma Patients get the SCT in early treatment, to give the patients a bigger and a deeper chance Remission. Your first Remission is the longest! It is not an easy procedure to go through but if successful, which 90% are, you can be in Remission. I am an advocate for SCT’s because mine put me into Remission for 19 years and counting. It helps to ask specific questions and we are here to answer them. Talk with your doctor too, so he knows how you are feeling. Love, Marcia 🌸🌼🌻

It is different for every one. I didn’t have any trouble with my stem cell harvest or my chemo Every one has their own opinion on weather to do it or not.For me when they told me that it would bye me more time.It was a no brainer But a lot of people have their own reason for not doing this You need to decide for yourself weather or not to do it. I felt like I am young enough and my health was good Take Care Stay Safe and keep the Faith

That's what I was told also. I am so wanting to hear remission when this SCT is done. You are so blessed. Remission for 19 year...That's awesome. Do you taking meds while in remission?

It's really a very personal decision. Listen to your Doctors, get a second opinion if you need to. I went through one in 2013. It is difficult but was well worth it for me. Talk to your family too.
