If I'm In Remission For Multiple Myeloma How Long Can It Last
I was diagnosed dec 20 2023 my last treatment is December 23rd 2024 I'm doing well the myeloma attacked my spine and hip lesions was for i had surgery for both and do really well Dr is so impressed how fast I went into remission. But I worry it will come back to soon, I'm 66 years young and this is the 1st time I have ever been sick I've been healthy always but I'm over weight. I'm working on that as well.
It's great to hear that you're doing well and that your doctor is impressed with your progress. Remission for multiple myeloma can vary greatly from person to person. Here are some key points based on my knowledge base:
- Average Remission Duration: Remission typically lasts an average of four years, but this can vary
- Show Full Answer
I had trouble harvesting my stem cells but my dr. tried a different method and it worked.
This really helpful and I'm 66 year young I have a wonderful team of doctors at MD Anderson in Houston Texas and I will be on maintenance the end of December praying the mm want return for a long time. Thank you for letting me know it can be 4 years because I read on the internet 2 years
Stem cell harvesting didn't work for me so I'm hoping that was a sign I will not need it 😅
