I was on Velcade , then switched to Kyprolis, which was not as effective as Velcade. Had no side effects with Kyprolis. Am now back on Velcade Injectable, which works better,

He was given 2 broad spectrum antibiotics. All blood cultures came back negative after 5 days. He’s recovered, but concerned about proceeding with his sixth and last cycle before bone marrow biopsy. That will be 3 more treatments. Any experience and knowledge on precautions?
