The problem is when you’re on Revlimid, Darzalex FasPro, dexamethasone and maybe Velcade you don’t know which one gives you the side effects.

I once spent 44 hours in bed after my initial induction therapy and told my doctor. He said, “it’s the dex, it’s the dex!” That’s because the crash from Sunday into Monday was the result of Friday morning chemo infusions.

I battle diarrhea on and off so I think that’s Revlimid induced. I know of no side effects from Dara.

I believe the Velcade gave me neuropathy in the thumb and bottom of feet.

All in all, I’m very happy with the results and can tolerate the side effects without problem.

Like doc says, “you are the only one I know that likes chemo day!”

So let me get back the Suzy Homemaker with Suzy and scrub the windows!
