B-12 Update
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Just to share I’ve been taking chewable B-12 5000 mcg for ten days and honestly feel I have more energy. I’ll comment back at 30 days. If you do try let me know what your experience is. And please check with your doctor before taking. Certainly don’t want it to interfere with your treatment meds. Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Does Anyone Take Dexamethasone And Revlimid As Maintence?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’m really struggling with taking 20 mg of Dexamethasone weekly. It’s 50 degrees here and I’m sweating like I’m in the Caribbean…. Can anyone explain why we need to take all the dex in one day? I wish we could take 1 a day for 5 days…. Thanks in advance for any suggestions…. I have no idea if this will be my maintenance therapy for the rest of my life but it’s not a great maintenance plan for me…

My oncologist said that I’d be going to 10mg of Revlimid for maintenance therapy. Said I should feel much better. Anyone have firsthand experience??

How Many Of You Would Chose Treatment Again.
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’m writing Pro’s and Con’s for treatment. My mother had stage 4 ovarian cancer 3 times. Chemo, cured, reoccurrence, chemo & surgery, reoccurrence. In the end she read her Chemo diary and decided against any further treatment. She did have quality of life in the end.

Induction, yes, I would. I mean when cancer comes into your life, to get it fixed is the main thing.

So hard Angela it’s my husband. But I know God is able to do all things.
My sister is doing well and surprisingly ready to go back to work perhaps next month. She will return to her oncologist then.

It took me about 5 months. I was able to drive to church. That is most important to me.

I hope you have a quicker recovery. It will be 90 days for bloodwork to be normal.
