So glad you are in remission! I get a full body scan/mri yearly. I was diagnosed in July 2015. No new lesions since my diagnosis. Had a sct in Jan 2016 was in remission for 7 1/2myears before my first relapse. I get Dara faspro monthly and take 2mg pomalyst which I started the end of Nov 2023. As of June 2024 I am back in remission!

Joseph,
I see my Oncologist who is an MM Specialist every 4 months and have bone scans every year. I am Smoldering. I have not progressed to MM yet. If you are experiencing severe bone pain all of a sudden, you should contact your doctor or go to the Emergency Room. It’s always good to ask the doctor ahead of time what they want you to do. Are you being followed by an Oncologist/Hematologist that only specializes in MM? You need to have confidence in your doctor.
