Hi rabbit
Thank you for the quick response!
Just now – reading some other posts on the forum tweaked the ‘ol brain cells. At our very first haematology appt in Feb 2025 (after back surgery) the haematologist (the one we saw today) said that his plasma cells were 6% which is below the threshold for offical MM diagnosis but because a scan found a 2nd smaller tumour at his S1 and because steriods that they had prescribed may have ‘dampened down’ plasma cell % (reading) they were erring on side of caution and stating diagnosis as MM not plasmacytoma. And she stated because majority plasmacytoma patients go on to develop MM, he will be treated as MM.
This made me wonder that she decided then not to have the ‘consolidation’ phase and just go straight onto ‘maintenance’ after SCT ..?
He also responded very well to the DVTD phase (light chain/protein levels) quite quickly.
