Stage 3B is the highest stage for Multiple Myeloma. 3B means you have kidney issues
I have Stage 1 multiple myeloma. I started treatment in January because of proteins in my urine. I am on Velcade, Revlimid and dexamethasone. I am on my 4th cycle. My understanding is that Revlimid will suppress stem cell production. So if down the road I may want a stem cell transplant my maintenance program would be the Velcade. I think the Revlimid might be a better option to for remission. I am wondering what others have found with your treatments.

Does anyone here have both Multiple Myeloma and Kidney Disease? My husband has Stage 3, high risk MM and Stage4/5 kidney disease. The myeloma has damaged his kidneys. Does anyone else deal with both of these?

Apparently when our Syracuse doctor sent a report to our Florida oncologist, he said that my husband has IgA Myeloma. We had never heard it classified this way before, and our Florida oncologist also said that none of his tests showed that. Wondering if anyone here has IgA Myeloma and if so, what test was done to determine that?
