Are you asking whether your current treatment cycle with Pomalyst (pomalidomide) and dexamethasone is correct?

It sounds like you are following a 28-day cycle — 21 days on Pomalyst, then one week off, then starting again. This is actually a very common and standard way Pomalyst is prescribed for myeloma.

The typical schedule looks like this:

- Days 1–21: Take Pomalyst daily
- Days 22–28: Stop (one week break)
- Day 1 of next cycle: Start again

This matches what you are describing, which is reassuring! That said, only your own doctor can truly confirm your treatment plan is correct for your specific situation. Since you are in Chennai, please speak with your myeloma specialist to make sure your dosing, cycle timing, and dexamethasone schedule are all on track.

It is also important to keep up with regular blood tests so your doctor can monitor how well the treatment is working and watch for any side effects. Never stop or change your doses without their guidance.

You are doing the right thing by asking questions — stay in close contact with your care team! 🙂
