Good morning Elise!

I just had my first doses of dexamethasone and Valcade last week. I really didn’t have too much of a reaction to either. I did experience some insomnia and a dull headache off and on for a couple of days. Perhaps, since I’m just beginning my treatment regimen, I had only minimal side effects.

Hang in there my fellow warrior. Remember we’re in this fight together.

I’ve been on velcade since September, I don’t like the reaction, big red and itchy, mildly uncomfortable on my stomach. Also, about 12 hours later I get a days worth of diarrhea! I plan on going for a second opinion in Seattle soon, maybe they will give me a better alternative.

Thank you Rennie!

I had a local reaction to Velcade each time but no itching and seems to resolve in a few days.

Thanks. Got my warrior suit on!
