MM Journey

I was diagnosed in August 2012 with IgA Kappa and collapsed vertebrae. Had a Stem Cell Transplant in January 2013. Relapsed in March 2016. Currently on Kyprolis, Pomalyst and Dexamethasone. Also on Zometa for my bones. Since I'm now diagnosed as terminal I have qualified for federal social security and I'm old enough now so taking early retirement too. I have been researching trials related to immunotherapy because there is hope for a cure there. Other wise it will just be remission to relapse to remission until I die.
