Did Anyone Know About The New Generic Velcade?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I just learned that I have been getting the generic Velcade since the beginning of July. I noticed there was huge price difference on my bill, and called my hospital to see if they had made a mistake. Turns out that it indeed was the correct pricing! It dropped $4000! That might also be why I've been feeling different after my last few injections. A little more run down, weaker and slightly nauseous. 🤔 Funny no one informed me of this at the infusion center.

Hey @DonnaAndrews, that post was from a while ago. I know those two things are the same. My billing had always said bortezimib, but the pricing dropped significantly at that time. 💕

Going From A Darzalex Faspro/Revlimid/Dexemetesone Regimen To A Darzalex Only.
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been on Darzalex Faspro/Revlimid/Dexemetesone for almost 2 years now. One year in we lowered the Rev dose from 25mg to 10mg. Myeloma numbers have continued to look good, so we are considering stopping the Rev altogether at the 2 year mark in April 2023. We will continue with the Darzalex shots and blood tests once a month and see what happens. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

My thoughts-
Dropping Revlimid and inserting Velcade might be a good maintenance therapy as Revlimid has so many side effects and Velcade seems to have less.

Clinical trial-
1) The addition of… read more

Does Anyone Have Belly Bloat?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have belly bloat? This last month it’s gotten worse. Also I’ve been waking up to throwing up just water though. Not nauseous just waking up to it. Last night was bad. Threw out my pillow and had to shower at 3am. 🤷‍♀️😞

What Treatment Can Anyone Recommend For Neuropathy On My Feet And Toes?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Drugs treatment plan was Revlimid, Velcade, Dexaethasone. I stopped the Velcade once numbness and tingling got worse. I continue now with lower dose of Revlimid and Dexaethasone.
