What Is A "good" Or Manageable M Spike?
Is there such a thing as a good or manageable M Spike? Or is it different for each type of Myeloma? My M Spike was down as low as .15 back a few years ago. It now has been hovering around .40 since I changed therapies. I started with Revlimid, Velcade, Dex on 2018. Now on Darzalex Fastpro, Kyprolis, Dex. I know I want it lower but my doctor says it may never go lower. Maybe just hanging out at .4 is ok.
What is other's experience?

I Have Kappa Light Chain - High Risk MM. Has Anyone Experienced Low ANC And White Counts Frequently? I Am On Pomalyst And Sarclisa And DEX
I feel fine, but I know my ANC is dangerously low. My doctor will probably have me start injections of neupogen.
Thanks,

I have a gain of 1q. which puts me at high risk.
Why Is My Pulse Rate High For A Few Days After My Kyprolis And Dexamethasone Or On Days I Add Sarclisa My Resting Heart Rate Goes From 60-89
Anyone On Elotuzumab And Pomalyst Combination? I Was Just Taken Off Daratumamab And Revlimid. Which Is Newer?
Has Any One Had A Regimen Of VRD Combined With Isatuximab? Were The Results Positive?
Our local support group had a member who was newly diagnosed who went on a trial with those drugs.
