Hi! My uncle was diagnosed with light chain myeloma, to be exact lamda chain. He was first treated with thalidomide (2months)/ iv.velcade (6 months). His oncologist decided he was a good candidate for a autologous stem cell transplant. He received melphalan/dex to prep him for transplant. His cancer was is remission for less than 1 year after receiving the transplant. He his now at the end of the second round of chemo, I.v Velcade/Revlimid. The Md has given him a very poor prognosis at this point. The cancer has been very progressive since his relapse. He is in a great deal of pain and having trouble with ambulatory tasks. I guess I am just asking if anyone has any information on other forms of therapy in that this form of multiple myeloma is so rare. It has been roughly just over 2 years since he was first diagnosed and he is not ready to give up the fight!
