My husband who was stage 3 and high risk patient. He had Dare - VRD for 5 mos , then he was MRD -. So his stem cells were harvested to be used in the future if it is needed. He is still in the stringent complete remission . His maintenance is Dara shot every 4 weeks and Revlimid 10 mg. He is having BMB every 6 mos at this point. Quadruplet induction worked on him very well.
