Is Stem Cell Therapy Contraindicated By A Certain Age Or Stage Of The Disease?
I am 71 and just recently starting mm treatment after smm diagnosis in mid 2023.
@A MyMyelomaTeam Member has done a lot of research and has used his own body as a guinea pig. What he is doing is working! Miraclulous results actually. He's the one who recommeded Dr Brandy to me and others.
Thank you for the feedback! There’s lots to consider so everything helps to know more ideas, including books like you mentioned. 😃
Peter,
70 can be a cut-off, but if you are in good health, then 70 means nothing. Now doctors are saying therapies are just as good or better than SCT which is hard to go through, but it depends on your type of MM. I just bought Dr Brandy's book "Beat Back Cancer". He has IgA Kappa like I do which is more agressive.

Generally it is based on your overall health. All the best
Stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma is not explicitly contraindicated by age alone, but the overall health and presence of other serious health problems are significant considerations. Older individuals or those with other severe health conditions might not be ideal candidates for this treatment due to the Show Full Answer
Has Any One With Stage 1 Multiple Myeloma Had A Stem Cell Transplant? If Not, What Maintenance Program Are You On?
"no Matching Staging Information Found For This Patient" Doesn't Every MM Patient Have A Stage They Are In?
