I began treatment for MM June 10, 2025. I am receiving Sarclisa infusion and I am prescribed Revlimid. I am considered not eligible for stem cell translant. My hemoglobin is below 10. This week’s infusion was cancelled because my infection fighting neutrophils are too low. I am completely void in mood, no ambition, interest, or desire. Even the things I used to enjoy do not interest me. I am discouraged and isolated. Is my void mood common in MM and low hemoglobin?

GI Amyloidosis can be complicated to diagnose and treat...

I don't have cancer but my wife does and I am slowly learning how to cope. Where can I find advice on communicating with her, friends and family?

On Monday, dozens of healthcare providers have agreed to make fewer medical procedures subject to prior authorization while also agreeing to speed up the process. Insures are also pledging to use clearer language when communicating with patients and promised that medical professionals would review coverage denials. Keep in mind that this is not mandated by any law. This agreement does not spell out how it would would help the sickest patients or those who need expensive treatment. Most of this isn't new and some of the agreements have already been in place or required, such as under the ACA. Additionally, insurers are going to make more use of AI to help speed up the prior authorization process. The key take away is; the prior authorizations are not going away, but perhaps the process can be more efficient.

Has anyone here needed catarac surgery with their multiple myeloma. Did you get a recommendation from your oncologist or did you use your regular ophthalmologist ?

I was diagnosed with MGUS one year ago. I have since moved from Madison, WI to Oceanside, CA. Can anyone recommend a good hematologist/oncologist in the San Diego area? Thank you, Andrew

Day 8 carvikti hospitalized for CRS toci treatment works well This is a harsh perhaps even grueling process which I elected in order to get to a point of remission with no additional treatments. I think it will be very important to be monitored not only for disease progression, which I don't expert, but for the longer term side effects and problems identified in cartitude 4 trial.

Hi Diahanna, could you point me to your resources on how to navigate ACA policies? How much will it cost for myself and spouse to have good coverage (meyloma level coverage), including premiums, deductibles, prescriptions etc. I’m still 8.5 years from Medicare and have to find a way to get care that won’t bankrupt me. I should get 1.5 years on Cobra but still have to find care for the remaining 7 years. Thank you

Can anyone recommend a MM specialist in Johannesburg? I’m moving there and need to establish with a new doctor. It’s just maintenance care at the moment 🤞 but still need to get blood tests and lenalidomide refills regularly. Thanks!
