My Plasmacytoma is on my sternum. After stopping Revlimid use for 5 weeks due to surgery the tumor has doubled in size. It is not only outside my ribs but also extending inside my ribs closer to my heart. That concerns me. So I am looking for some input from a similar case and treatment.
I see my Oncologist soon. Many questions await.
