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…

Gail, you have to be careful with Zometa, because it affects your teeth and jaws, Dentists don’t want to work in your teeth, they said if they pull a tooth it never heel.
I have that problem now.

Hi - I Am A 65 Year Old Pretty Long Term Survivor Of Multiple Myeloma. I Am Looking For Info Regarding Cost Of Revlimid
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am about to go on Medicare and was SHOCKED at the cost of the copay for Revlimid which I am starting as maintenance therapy. Even with the supplemental prescription coverage, it is obscenely expensive. Why is there no generic available? I am wondering how others deal with this? We don't qualify for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society assistance program. Anything else out there? Thank you.

VA will pay for it if you can get assigned to community care.

@A MyMyelomaTeam Member I have heard those can be really painful. I hope you're recovering and that the eliquis works well to prevent those in the future.

Revlimid

Do any Part D drug plans cover all of the cost of Revlimid? Which Part D drug policies pay the most on Revlimid in Colorado?
Thank you

Interesting. I have found the dosage does not effect the cost. My copay has been 400 per month for either 5mg or 10 mg for 21 days a month. That was before I got VA to give me community care.
