Bone Lesions
Has anyone had many bone lesions -- and then had SCT? Does SCT help prevent the development of more lesions, or not necessarily?
I’m not sure but the eradication of the MM cells should stop all bone lesions. I had lesions in several bone areas and even on the liver in four places. The induction chemo and the ASCT eliminated all traces of lesions as verified by the PET scan.
Now maintenance chemo keeps the aggressive MM in check but I still need a bone strengthening shot of Xgeva monthly.
Hopefully this helps Teresa!
