Began Tecvalyli the first week of May 2023. The first doses are given at the hospital. My M-Spike number went down a point after the first full dose and has continued to come down. I have an injection at my local cancer clinic once a week. Side effects last about 30 hours. We are located in southeastern Washington - the clinic is in Kennewick Washington.

Hoping for good results for you! How long have you been on Tecvayli? My husband’s numbers are coming up after the second remission…wondering about this drug in the future? Where (Dr office or hospital) and how often do you take injections??? Any severe reactions? Dr is talking about Ninlaro next for my husband!
