Currently on maintenance after stem cell transplant in December 2024. I am doing 8 weeks of Weekly Velcade, Darzalex every other week, and 25 mg Revlimid 14 on 7 days off. I am also taking 40 mg dexamethasone 1 x week in treatment days. After 8 weeks, I’ll be on 10 mg Revlimid daily and Darzalex 1 x month. I want to talk to doctor about discontinuing the Dex. I watch a health tree video from last November where a doctor said he did not give steroids to patients in maintenance. Does anyone else not have to be on dexamethasone for maintenance? I have never had a bad reaction to any of the shots and do not have any pain other than from being an active 55 year old . Thanks in advance.

I am about to receive Car-t as a 50 year old in good health (I know I don't look sick). I work 100% remote and I'm wondering what my days are likely to look like. I'm told my "tumor burden" is low so I'm expecting some fever and maybe some tiredness but wondering if it's likely I'll have energy to work some or should I hang up that idea? I'm not looking for horror stories just some easy advice. I do have vacation time I can use but working might provide some distraction like it did during my SCTs.

I was diagnosed with Myeloma last May. I was put on Darzale for my maintenance 3 months ago a i have developed terrible neuropathy in my hands and feet. Besides pain meds has anyone found anything else that helps with the pain? I appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.

Has anyone else developed a secondary disease called myelodisplastic syndrome as a result of treatment for multiple myeloma? I am currently being tested for this after my most recent bmb revealed a new 20q deletion on my cytogenetic test.

My numbers increased a lot after initial six months initial drd treatment does this mean I have functional high risk mm?

I have been battling Multiple Myeloma for seven years. I have had two SCT. I have been on just about every medication and am now on Tclistamab which is different than a T-cell transplant. I have been on it for a year and I have been in remission since I started taking it.
