Hi, I suffer from ongoing backache. I am thinking to try steam or dry sauna. I wonder if anyone is using sauna in this community. Thanks, Abdallah

How are people treating insomnia on treatment day? I take Darzalex, Revlimid and Dexamethasone for my MM. My sleeping pill has been ineffective.

Will the different interest groups return? There seemed to be more participation when these were options.

HealthTree is developing a survey to better understand the emotional and family impact of an Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) diagnosis. The survey explores changes in daily routines, sources of emotional support, and how families adapt throughout treatment. We are looking for adult ALL patients and caregivers of pediatric ALL patients to join a live Zoom discussion and help review the survey before it is launched. Your feedback will help ensure the questions reflect the real experiences of patients and families. Interested? Comment below or email Eliza at eliza.prickett@healthtree.org to learn more.

Dear Fellow Travelers, This is my first time using this platform. I had 4 mos of Velcade, Darzalex (Faspro) and Methylprednisolone last fall followed by a stem cell transplant in March. For the first time on Friday I started Carfilzomib 54mg,m2 (along with Faspro and the Methylpredisone) which is the drug that has been prescribed for my monthly maintenance treatment. I am a breast cancer survivor. In 2008 I had 27 lymph nodes removed from my right arm. I had the Carfilzomib infusion in my left side but my right arm the very next day was swollen and bloated & has now developed lymphemena. Has anyone else had this happen while on Carf?
