I'm halfway through my third cycle of DRVd induction and my IgG has dropped over 80%, light chains have almost equalized and are within the normal range. The specialist is even using the term "partial remission." Which is all good and encouraging. My weekly blood draw now shows my overall protein levels are below normal and the local oncologist is recommending boosting plant-based protein intake. I munch partially-salted mixed nuts in the morning to stymie the Rev nausea and have Greek yogurt on my breakfast kibbles instead of milk. What are other good sources of protein or supplements? I want to up my protein, not bulk out with muscle or fat gain.

I am in complete remission from mm for a few years now after going through different regimes and a failed transplant. Now I have no maintence Revlimid or Dex as it was very hard on me. About a year into my journey I read an article about a lady in Tuscany with smouldering mm who was having great results when adding black seeds to her diet. Her numbers got so much better. I started with sprinkling the seeds in my food until I read that the Black Seed Oil Or Black Cumin Seed Oil is more effective than the seeds. I started taking a wee bit as it can upset your stomach. I now take 1/2 tsp twice a week to this day and will continue to do so. It enhances your medication. It helps it to be most effective. My numbers improved greatly with it. I wouldn’t be without it. That’s my story. I’m just telling you what helped me so very much along with my medication and treatment. Hope this helps someone.

Got to 4.6 million for my stem cell harvest and store. Took 3 days and by last day I seemed to be reacting more to the meds they give you to help release the stem cells. Fluid retention and fatigue. My Dr said that was good. Line came out yesterday and so glad to be back home. Good to know they are there if I need them
