Bob, what are your M numbers? Are you in “remission “? I’ve been in very good partial response for 15 months on Darzalex Faspro and Zometa monthly. My M proteins have stayed the same all these months. My doctor has been satisfied with the numbers.

Dang! Larry2, Thanks for all that info that I didn’t know regarding Darzalex Faspro! I’ll need to ask my doctor about my treatment!

Be careful with Velcade. It can cause permanent neuropathy.

Where are you with your Labs that indicate you have active MM

Where did you start at and how long on what and any reduction of amounts

Take a look at the $10 Ebook from Dr Brandy - Best Back Cancer Naturally. A Plant Based Diet and Key Supplements can help to improve the effectiveness of treatment meds
