A 17-year Fight Against Multiple Myeloma

In 2010, when Stephen Herz’s multiple myeloma returned, he turned to a clinical trial of a new immunotherapeutic. After 17 years fighting the cancer, the new treatment succeeded and a bone marrow biopsy couldn’t detect myeloma. Learn how cancer research is improving the lives of people like Stephen at www.AACR.org/CancerProgressReport.

My brother was diagnosed 3 years in July, he was 53 at the time. Had chemo at first but responded so well he hasn't needed it since. This disease does ebb and flow and it does go into a kind of remission, sort of hides for a while. That was the lay man term my brothers consultant explained to us. It will never go away. Until cure found! But, it's not ( I believe) an instant death sentence, it's not curable (at the moment) but, treatable!

[@heru-deshet359]

I'm 65 and was diagnosed with stage one in September of 2018. After all the radiation from a partial clavicle tumor and chemo, I'll be getting a stem cell transplant. I hope this will get the remission we're looking for. God bless you all.

[@dangrimes5078]

How did your transplant go? I had one in 2009 and kind of regret it. I don't believe it's the reason I'm still alive. In fact I think it was a big negative. My doctor wanted to do another one a year or two ago and I just know it would kill me. I'm doing very well without it. I was sick for years after my first one and I believe it weakened me permanently.

[@heru-deshet359]

@@dangrimes5078 It was very tough. Afterwards the staff told me I went through a form of PTSD and was like that for a few months. I have to stay on maintenance therapy, but my cancer is in remission with no trace whatsoever. Thank God and my team. Every day is touch and go. I was feeling great when I was off the therapy as it is basically poison that I'm taking, but hope to get used to it at one point. It's incurable for now, so I need to stay on it. Take care and let me know how you progress.

You're one of the lucky patients who made it through this disease. At first, the chemo was working very well for my husband, and like you, at the end of many rounds of chemo the myeloma cells were almost undetectable in his blood. After the stem cell transplant, everything went down from there. He passed away in 2017 after trying the newest chemo drug for multiple myeloma out there. He was asked if he would try a bone marrow transplant, but after going through the treatments he went through, there was no way he would do it again. By that time, his bone marrow was completely destroyed, and there was nothing that could be done for him.

@@kl3625 My doctor says Stage 2, but from what I have been reading, I think I'm more in Stage 1. Detection began with a CT scan and then MRI, when they found bone erosion and lesions on my rib. Biopsy followed, and then diagnosis confirmed MM. Bone aspiration (taking bone marrow sample) to determine prognosis and the extent of the cancer. I am male, close to 60 years old, and I can still work in the IT industry. But I cannot meet my clients face to face as often anymore because the treatment compromises my immune system, and getting sick, especially these days with the new coronavirus going around, will put me in a grave situation, perhaps literally =/ Fortunately, I can submit my projects from my home office. Myeloma was actually detected by x-ray in 2018, but I didn't know what to do with the information until my orthopedist pointed it out over a year later.
