I was only on Revlimid for 3 months. I was switched to Pomalyst early on. I'm still taking is over 5 years later💕

I was on Revlimid for 8 months and then my Mspike was below 1.0 to .0003. My doctor at Waterman took me off the medication and 3 other meds as well. when my Mspike is 1.0+ I will go back on the medication. Take care everyone and stay healthy as you can.

I take PhysicianNaturals C3 Curcumin (PN). I've been testing Dr's Best C3 Curcumin. Though Dr's Best is a little smaller and easier to swallow, it gives me very bad indigestion when I take all 8 at once. I may split it across the day or simply stay with PN brand. Another member has been taking Dr's Best but reported damaging his esophagus - I believe he was taking 8 at a time as well and that he's cut back to 6 per day.

My Story has Links to both.

I plan to look into other C3 options - there's a few - Liposomal C3 Curcumin and a new version as mentioned by Patricia7 (I believe), both requiring less per day. I'll report to my Story once I've tested both.

Hi Bill - if you're in complete remission, its old news to stay on MM Meds like Revlimid forever. Look into getting a clonoSEQ MRD test. If you're 10 -6 Negative (no cancer per million cells), then going on MRD-SURE Monitoring is a very viable and preferred place to be. At my @A MyMyelomaTeam Member Story there's a link to Dr. Costa's Video. He did the MRD-SURE Case Study. In his Video, he stresses the need to get off MM Meds when 10 -6 Negative. There's additional Links to other related items. I'm MRD Negative, off All MM Meds for the past 7 months. Excellent Labs and quarterly MRD tests that are all Negative and no MSpike. I started at 80% bad plasma and 3.1 MSpike. Induction and maintenance, without a SCT got me clear in 7 months.

I also take 8 grams of C3 Curcumin in an effort that it will help keep me in remission. My Story has Links to a NIH Study and reference to Articles that show its value. I found 3 Case Studies prior to starting Induction and was taking 4 grams daily all through Induction and then 6 grams daily during maintenance and recently upped to 8 grams. Doc was fully aware and was pleased that I was taking it.

I also had one high risk of t(4,14). MRD Monitoring is viable with zero and one high risk factor, according to the MRD-SURE Case Study Report.

All the Best - Larry2

There’s no guarantee but please look into C3 Curcumin. NIH did a 6 year Study, proving its efficacy. There’s links and details at my Story. I was on Revlimid and others MM Meds for 7 months (no SCT). I’ve been off everything Off Everything for 7 months. MSpike started at 3.3 before treatment. No MSpike and MRD- for 7 months and counting.

Will be looking into additional natural support items and will chronicle them to my Story over time. Currently planning on another 20+ healthy years to come. Just turned 69.

All the Best
