You can get secondary cancers along with Multiple Myeloma, but that doesn't mean you will. Most of us don't, but some people do. Don't borrow trouble.

I didn't think too much about this subject till my former oncologist felt obligated to tell me that continuing on Rev. for my maintenance could possibly cause a second cancer. His words sunk in and I stopped treatments a few months after induction treatments; also had problems with Revlimid. I was on treatment from 2018 till Nov?. 2021. I am still not on treatment to this day. Everyone is different. We are not Clones. I have side effects still and probably age issues too......but shouldn't have happened till later years (my opinion).

I like to get things over-with, always have been this way. I just don't like having to think about something nagging me. It just depends....

I am so thankful that at every visit with my initial oncologist; she wanted to know what was going on, how I was feeling, and were there any side effects I was noticing. Dosages and drugs were adjusted accordingly as I went through induction therapy.

Yes, our treatments can cause secondary cancers. Keep in mind that skin cancer is included in this. So, wear sunscreen every day. We all need to go to a dermatologist yearly, keep up with mammograms, colonscopies, prostate exams etc
