Hello. Looking for advice on lower extremity swelling. My wife is currently taking Spironolactone 25mg and it is working. She cannot take Lasix due to an ingredient’s closeness to a sulfa, to which she is allergic. The issue is every night for 3 hours, she has intense pain in her lower extremities. Going to try switching from evening to morning for the medication. Anyone have any advice/experience with this?

For the last 13 cycles I have been taking Velcade, Darcelex, and dexamethasone. My Lambda Light Chains have steadily increased are presently at 75! These drugs are not working! I am totally confused as to which protocols to move forward with! A list of choices are Stem Cell Transplant, Car-t therapy, Bi-Specific antibodies, or a mixture of Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone. My goal is to receive the best treatment which will have the longest lasting remission and has the least side-effects.

Hello I recently relapsed 18 months after transplant and I am wondering if anyone has stop taking Dex or just reduced the dosage in their new therapy regiment. Thanks

Hello, I am in my 3rd year of remission from MM. My mental health is slowly deteriorating as my husband has had to leave the USA after being here with me under 1yr. He was my sole supporter, assisted with me in every aspect of this journey from shopping, doctor visits and my mental support. I am asking if anyone knows who I can approach to address a letter written to the US Immigration consulate/Jamaican visa office expressing my need to have my husband here with me in the US indefinitely due to my health condition? I have previously submitted a letter from my Oncologist, but that doesn't seem to be sufficient in these times with immigration. I appreciate any suggestions you all may have. Thank you
