Anyone Have Advice On Week After 1st Cycle Of RVD?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Danville, PA

My first cycle was ok. Had to hold Rev b/c of a rash. Dex had me cleaning my house, but very foggy headed (felt too spacy to drive, etc.) Now, I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to recover and prepare on this week off. (Foods to eat, exercise,etc.) Thanks. I hope you all are well.

Just saw your post 12 days too late.
Were you off all meds that week?
If so, I hope you just enjoyed feeling normal again. I know I did on my off weeks.
