I've just started Darzalex so this conversation was helpful. It also explains the back pain I've had although some of that could be contributed to some bending, reaching and squatting I was doing when merely trying to do some light cleaning and pick up around the house.

Darzalex (daratumumab) can cause both mild and more serious side effects. The most common side effects include nausea, back pain, fever, cough, fatigue, and lowered blood cell counts.

During or shortly after receiving the infusion, some people may experience more severe reactions like throat tightness, wheezing, dizziness, and breathing difficulties. If these occur, it's important to contact a healthcare professional immediately. Darzalex works by targeting CD38 proteins found in high numbers on myeloma cells. When the medication binds to these proteins, it attracts natural killer cells from your immune system to help destroy the myeloma cells. This targeted approach makes it an effective treatment option for many people with myeloma.
