M45 and I found out in March that it was likely Myeloma. It’s now been confirmed as stage 1, standard risk and my haematologist has mentioned hyperdiploid genetics. I’ve got 15% bone marrow involvement and the only thing that really flagged this was an MRI on my back which showed a fractured L5.
Other than that I feel pretty healthy, I’m planning to take my son to Barcelona in a couple of weeks before the treatment starts so that we can get away. It looks like a 4 drug regimen for me of DvTD plus a bone strengthening agent and then onto the ASCT. I strangely feel lucky that it’s been caught early and unlucky for being diagnosed.
I’m still exercising 4x a week and walk about 15000 steps a day but I’m wondering how induction therapy will hammer my routines.
