I am on a 10mg maintenance dose. I believe I stay on this to either one of two things happen: 1) my body has a difficult time with the drug, or 2) it stops being effective and I need a different protocol.

Well I have never asked my oncologist, I did ask my Nurse she is the Bomb I worked in Major hospitals for 27 years and place much stock in what Nurses tell you. They usually keep the Dr. out of trouble, she has been a oncology nurse for 10 years , and she told me usually when you go into remission they cut back on revlemid and keep you on a maintenance dose for a very long time also I will be on zometta for a long time but they develop better drugs all of the time and have major break-throughs. Well Prayers to all my Brother and Sisters who are in the same boat as me God Bless.

My oncologist stopped my Revlimid when I went into remission. That has been for 8 months now.
Luv,

I started taking Revlimid when it was approved by the FDA in 2003, switching from thalidomide. I took it until it quit working and I experienced light chain escape about 2015.
