Before I left New York, Dr. Pearse had suggested that I might consider stopping my Lenalidomide (Revlimid) since I also had no real myeloma activity for over ten years (since my transplant, actually). Dr. Kwok confirmed this sentiment and suggested we do another bone-marrow biopsy to check on any low-level cancer activity. We did the biopsy a few weeks ago and... no myeloma activity detected! They're using a several much more sensitive tests to check, and they are all negative! We're still awaiting one final test, but it's expected to be negative too.
So this 'remission flip' also takes place when I am stopping my maintenance chemotherapy. If the cancer comes back, I have some good therapeutic options, including the new CAR-T treatment. I hope I won't need them, though!
