That's great to hear that you're in remission! Here are some key points about remission in multiple myeloma based on my knowledge base:

- Remission Types:
- Partial Remission: Some cancer cells die, and bone tumors grow smaller, but some signs of myeloma linger.
- Complete Remission: Blood tests and/or imaging tests cannot detect any remaining signs of myeloma.

- Follow-Up: Even in remission, regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor for any signs of relapse.

- Minimal Residual Disease (MRD):
- MRD-Negative: Sensitive tests can't detect any cancer cells, but this doesn't necessarily mean there are no myeloma cells left.
- MRD-Positive: A small number of cancer cells remain in the body following treatment.

- Continued Treatment: Some people in remission may need to continue using myeloma treatments to keep the disease under control.

It's important to stay in close contact with your healthcare team and follow their recommendations for ongoing monitoring and treatment.
