Experiencing New Hives on Kyprolis & Dara?
AI-generated title
I have been receiving Kyprolis infusions on day 1 and day 15, and a Dara Faspro injection on day 15 of treatment for the past three and a half years. On Thursday of last week I received both Kyprolis and Dara. Three days after the treatment I woke up with a severe case of hives. This has not happened previously. I do take Claritin the day before, day of, and day after treatment and 4 mg. of Dex the day of treatment. Has anyone experienced this?

Sharing My SMM Journey & What Helped
AI-generated title
I was diagnosed in December 2023 with Smoldering Multiple Myeloma after having chronic bronchitis, kidney failure, and peripheral neuropathy with blood tests, urine tests, and a kidney ultrasound. It was going to be 6 months before I could see the hematologist at the cancer center and I just had surgery in 2022 for a big thyroid/parathyroid tumor hanging out in my throat making it so I couldn't talk or swallow. I was scared and this was War. I started doing research online at the NIH and for books by cancer survivors and what they did. Research in2023 at NIH Complementary Medicine Division showed that Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture were useful in treatment of cancer. I found a licensed Chinese practitioner in town. So I bought a 20 pack of acupuncture/moxibustion treatment and take a monthly energy and cancer tea. Then, some readings that led my care, Radical Remissions: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds by Kelly Turner Ph.D. and most important, How To Starve Cancer...And Then Kill It With Ferroptosis by Jane McClelland. Her "Stem Cell Metro Map" on p.333 with legend on p.334 really breaks down alternative treatments for any type of cancer, even CML. You can look up your type of cancer in the Index, but I suggest reading the book and her journey. One note, menbendazole is used in the UK and fenbendazole in the US. Anyway, I'm feeling well, my labs show lambas at 26 and no more multilpe myeloma in my bone marrow biopsy! Now I just have mild MGUS.
