Yes, many MyMyelomaTeam members have shared their experiences with myeloma treatments! There are quite a few options that people go through, and experiences can vary widely from person to person.
Common treatments include:
- Chemotherapy – often combined with other medications
- Immunotherapy – including CAR T-cell therapy
- Proteasome inhibitors – like bortezomib (Velcade) or carfilzomib (Kyprolis)
- IMiDs – like lenalidomide (Revlimid) or pomalidomide (Pomalyst)
- Stem cell transplants – following high-dose chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy – for localized disease
- Bispecific antibodies – newer options like teclistamab (Tecvayli) Members have shared real-life experiences too. One MyMyelomaTeam member noted that after switching their Velcade injection site from the abdomen to below the shoulder, they had far fewer side effects. Others have dealt with things like fatigue, gum sensitivity, and skin reactions during treatment.
It's always worth discussing options, benefits, and risks with your care team to find what works best for you! 💪
