Diagnosed with MM May 2010. Completed 4 cycles of Dex/Velcade/Revlamid and feel really very good. Neurapthy has gone away. I am scheduled for SCT at Emory in Atlanta in about 3 weeks. The catheter goes in next week. My Doc seems unwilling to give any precise prognosis. Has anyone out there with high risk mm completed a SCT with good effect? I have chromosome 13 deletion plus a bunch of other defects. Apparently when you get more than 5 it's just called "complex karyotype by conventional cytogenetics". Would love to hear from someone with goofy chromosomes who is a long term survivor. Thanks
