We couldn't get the cancer into remission before the transplant, but I was much better. MM is found mostley in elderly males, like over 60, so I'm a strange case. Only 5 of the 6 HLA types. The Docs are expecting some GVHD problems. I am involved in a double blind study in hops to decrease the amount I get.
Lets hope it works.
I have some more info here from the BMT news letter all about Multiple Myeloma . Your welcome to read it. It is mostly about the on going study of BMTs and Myeloma. It also explanes the cancer much better than I ever could. The paper is from OncoLink.
