I Have Igg Lambda. On Monthly Darzalex, Dex, And 21 Day Revlimid 15mg. Is .6 M Protein And 41 Lamda, Ratio Of 0.09 A Reason To Change Meds?
No Sct, no lesions or other manifestations of myeloma. Feel great. Hike, bike, surf, ski, etc..Had induction quad therapy 18 months ago. VGPR. 75 yrs old, 5’7”, 150 lbs. Bone marrow biopsy a year ago showed 10,000 ppm M protein. Are numbers alone sufficient to change treatment or look at consider how I feel too (overall health)?
Great to hear Kenneth. I am 68 and chose not to do SCT either. 8 months later I still have no symptoms, no side effects from medication. I am exercising at least 3 times a week and eat fairly healthy with a few beers or wine once a week. Enjoy quality of life while you have it, this disease usually ends up winning in the end no matter how many sacrifices you make.
Kenneth,
