Hyperparathyroidism

Does anyone on here or a loved one have this? How does it relate to our particular cancer if at all? I was diagnosed 3 or 4 years ago but got skittish about rush to get surgery. I do know that it was very important to have a surgeon very experienced in the procedure. I just thought I'd ask. I do not think it caused my present diseases but would like more information. Thank You.

Is Treatment For MM Needed When In Remission?

We question whether that is necessary, since she is still weak and dealing with side effects from past treatments, including neuropathy in her feet from the chemo. Blood test is scheduled for mid-Aug., so we are eager to know the options available for my wife if she is still in remission at that time and also any options if the MM is detected in Aug. We are told that her MM is not aggressive.
Thank you very much,
Roy and Sandy

Fungal Pneumonia Preventative

My husband's oncologist prescribed Atovaquone Oral Suspension 1500 mg, for what he said would prevent fungal pneumonia. Has anyone else here had this prescribed? If so, what is your experience. Is this a one-time prescription or something that will be ongoing? There are no refills on it, and he's to take it for 3 weeks.

T14 Found In Urine

Ok so next up on the things that can go wrong with me.
I went to see my Dr Wed to get my results of my MM marker test. Well he said your #are coming down but we found a T14 strain of protein in your urine. It's very rare and you have some rare cell mutations. The chemo I'm giving you is very aggressive but it's not working on this. I have 2 more treatment on this round and then my last 3. I should have been done with chemo the first week in Sept. Now I'm going to have to try something else.

Velcade, Dex & Liver Damage

My husband is on Velcade and Dexamethasone and up until now has had very few difficulties. However, in recent CMP and Gamma GT tests, the AST and ALT have been high, as was the Gamma GT number. He's being referred to a Hepatologist, but I am wondering if his MM protocol could be causing this. Been a year and a half on this protocol without any problem. Anyone else had any liver problems?

Looking For Stem Cell Transplant Info

Coming to the end of my induction therapy and a stem cell transplant is up next. I will have to travel out of state. Looking for insights - while making arrangements, what should you have considered that you did not? How common is chemo as part of the harvesting phase and was it done inpatient?
