M Level At Beginning Of MM Stage 5. It Went Up To 32 Before Treatment, 6 Rounds Of Chemotherapy (3) Types. Now Back At 5!

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Roodepoort, ZA

Having SCT on 28th June, why couldn’t I have SCT initially instead of going through hell and back with all the chemotherapy and the damage it has caused to my body only to get back to a M protein of 5 again and where it started?
I have got x 2 specialists and they both cannot give me an answer except that is not the way it works?
Why isn’t it? I’m back where I started apart from all the misery, pain and despair that this Cancer causes 🤷🏼‍♀️
