Cost of Darzalex Fastpro increased?
There have been some changes in my Medicaid this year and my co-pay has increased. Digging into my hospital billing I discovered that the charge for the monthly dose of Darzalex has increased by 75% ! I can’t seem to get an explanation from them after almost 2 months. Anyone else notice or experiencing a cost increase in this ? I’m on maintenance and doing well but this is stressing me quite a bit. Thank you and best wishes for Wellbeing 🙏

Next Step?
Hello Everyone. last Aug. 2025, was diagnosed with a solitary Plasmacytoma in the L2. Radiation treatment only reduced the lesion by 20% and the medical team wants to attack this one spot systemically with chemo/immunotheopy for the next year. Does anyone know of a successful, next step in treating a radiation resistant solitary Plasmacytoma? ( before its possibly becomes multiple myeloma or vertebrae collapses)

Remote monitoring devices for CAR T or Bispecifics
Hi everyone, has anyone used remote monitoring devices for CAR T or bispecifics? If so, do you know what company was used? Or what facility you are receiving care from? I'm curious to know if that was a good experience for you. Did it connect into your EHR? Did it connect with your care team? Interested in hearing from you.

Starting treatment next week.
Hello all, I am newly diagnosed (SMM since 10/2020) and will be on Dara, Velcade and Dex. I am starting treatment because I have osteoporosis and have multiple spine fractures (no lesions). I am leary about starting biphosphinates and even more terrified about starting treatment since I am very thin (undernourished) weighing 103 at 5'8". I am prone to nausea and worried it will make my back fractures worse. I am currently using a walker because I have a difficult time sustaining my core. Anyone has anything similar? I am very nervous about getting started.

CarT side effects
Has anyone experienced diarrhea after CarT and while on prophylactics with Bactrim and acyclovir and BP meds? If so how was it resolved?
