Discontinuing Revlimid And Starting POMALYST While On Maintenance Therapy
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Due to a recurring itchy body rash developing when using Revlimid, I’ll be switching over pomalidomide with velcade and dex. POMALYST is 10 times more potent than that of lenalidomide. But what I’m reading, people seem to have less side effects although it’s in the same drug class. For those who are on POMALYST, what has been your experience?

Thanks !

What Treatment Options Have You Used For Relapsing MM?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Unfortunately, after my SCT in Dec 2022, the MM has relapsed. It only took 10 months before it started to show up in blood tests. I had a bone marrow biopsy and the plasma cell percentage has now doubled from the value when I was initially diagnosed. So I'm curious to know if others have relapsed after a SCT and what was the next method of treatment used
We are looking to get me on Car-T cell therapy, but I do not yet qualify based on the number of refractory treatments (drugs that did not… read more
