Hi, My partner has plasma cell leukaemia and has been treated with Revlimid/Dex/Cyclophosphamine over 6 cycles. The recent attempt at stem cell harvesting failed and he's been told they will try again using Mozobil (plerixafor) – I've just been reading the info on this drug and it says it shouldn't be used for patients with plasma cell leukaemia. If that's the case, why is our doc saying it should go ahead? Is there anything else we could try. I'm so scared that he won't get SCT.

Hi Sue

I would phone the Nurse up on here and ask or phone the Hospital where your partner is being treated.

Sorry I cant be of more use in your Q

Thanks Tom, we've been in touch with the hospital and it seems the benefits outweigh the risks, so we'll see how it goes.

Hi Sue
I am pleased you found out am sure its all too much to take in at the moment and a worry when we read things that differ from our Dr advice.

Hope all goes well

Hi Sue, My first SCH failed, 2009)and I had to go around again. I then got enough for one transplant which I had in 2010. Sorry I cannot remember the name of the drug they used to promote etem cell growth. Keep strong.

Kindest regards – vasbyte
