Venetoclax Experiences & Side Effects?
AI-generated title
Hello, I was diagnosed in September 2023 at age 37. Luckily my disease was caught a little early before my bone lesions metastasized, so I haven't broken any bones. However I did lose vision in my right eye due to blood vessels bursting from hyper viscosity (thick blood). For treatment, I have been on the four drug (dex, Dara, Velcade, revlimid) regiment for 7 cycles. At first my disease responded well and reduced my M-spike from 6.0 to now 0.26. however for the past two cycles, my disease has stopped responding (M-spike is stagnant and fluctuates up and down around 0.24 to 0.26). As a result, my doctor is switching me to a new drug called venetoclax (it is not FDA approved for Myeloma yet, but it is promising for patients with translocation 11;14, which I have). Has anyone used this drug for Myeloma before, and what side effects effects did you experience?
