Has anyone else encountered this? Did you stay with Revlimid?

77 yrs old, relatively good physical condition. 2 weeks into my 3rd cycle of Velcade and Darzalex. KAPPA/LAMBDA LIGHT CHAIN RATIO has gone from 4.42 to 2.07 in 3 months. Abnormal protein band has reduced from 1.3 to .3. Fatigue and Bone pain have subsided. Walking daily.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma Cancer 2 years ago at the age of 38. Does anyone know the life span of someone my age with Multiple Myeloma?

I made my harvesting and I'm wainting for date for SCT. Probably there will be a month or more waiting time. Should I do 1 more cycle chemo in this time or no meds is better?

So confused, it took drs. 6 years to find anal cancer at a stage 4, how is this smoldering?

I have Stage 1 multiple myeloma. I started treatment in January because of proteins in my urine. I am on Velcade, Revlimid and dexamethasone. I am on my 4th cycle. My understanding is that Revlimid will suppress stem cell production. So if down the road I may want a stem cell transplant my maintenance program would be the Velcade. I think the Revlimid might be a better option to for remission. I am wondering what others have found with your treatments.

Our daughter has an appointment there next week and they said come to stay 2 or 3 days, but the weekend will be in the middle of that time. Curious how other people manage their stays there.

Yesterday started my 5th cycle of the therapy. This is my second time with Darzalex FasPro /first 3 cycles were with infusions/. Last month there was no side effects. Yesterday they put me the injection and today My skin got red on the legs at the morning and now it's red on the chest and arms too. Is that normal, should I be worried and go to the hospital or wait till the morning?

How long can one stay in remission without treatment and is it advised to stay on something like revlimid for a type of maintenance strategy. I've been in remission since 2017. Im not on anything but constantly struggle with my hemoglobin and iron counts. Our friend on this myeloma team was a nurse and she was in remission for like 18 years then she gets struck with liver cancer. This was so sad.

What about quality of life? I just had another BMB and it was just as painful as the first. The only good thing is that it latest for a few minutes instead of an hour. It seems that there is no norm when getting pain medicine for it.
