    Hi
    I wonder if anyone could offer any help. My husband was diagnosed with MM last October. He underwent 3.5 sessions of DVLD. Unfortunately he suffered severe neuropathy and his mobility was severely impacted. He had a stemcell harvest but then the consultant said she felt he was too frail to undergo the transplant. His MM was in remission and having stopped the treatment of velcade and thalidomide his mobility has improved significantly. We went to see the consultant today and she said as he was so well he could now have the SCT. The trouble is we don’t know whether it is worth it. It has been great being treatment free for the last 6 months. We know the SCT will make him ill. Does anyone the advantage to having a SCT over staying as we are? His protein levels have been around 2 for the last few months. I would be grateful for any comments
