Beth Morgan Multiple Myeloma Treatment Blog
My life as a myeloma patient for almost two decades
Not much is going on. I’m still in the TNB-383B trial. I’ve been receiving the drug since November, 2020.
I’ve had no noticeable side effects, which is nice. One thing that it does is knock my IgG abnd IgA way down. I’ve been having monthly IVIG for that reason.
for some time now, there’s been no m-spike detected.
I don’t have a lot to blog about here because my myeloma has been stable since last fall. There’s not much there at all. If you don’t have myeloma, I have only a little bit more than you do.
