Hi,
I was on chemotherapy similar to your mum’s. I had daratumumab instead of cyclophosphamide.
I have not had an SCT for many reasons. One of those reasons is simply that chemo has improved so much now that there is little to gain further from having an SCT. This is according to my consultant who is an authority on MM. I have also read research papers (my background is in science – but not medicine) which also indicate this.
I went into remission about a year ago, and am taking maintenance chemo.
Please do not worry about your mum not having an SCT. Whilst I obviously have no idea as to the specific reason, your mum may well have extensive remission without it.
Regards
Rabbit
