Have had 2 months of this treatment now of Belantamab Mafodotin along with velcade and dexamethasone over a weekly course of 6 months with no problems of note to mention, I get a bit fatigued at times but this can happen with any treatment. Have had 2 eye tests done so far and have no eye issues so far. My next dose of Belantamab is 3r Feb. Saw one of the doctors overseeing my treatment this week and was very surprised to find out that even after just 2 rounds my levels have dropped a fair amount. With 4 rounds to go results so far have been very encouraging for me. Hope those who are on this treatment have the same experience and results that I am currently have.

Hi Nordic.

Pleased to hear that things are going well.

You’re actually one cycle behind me, as my 4th commences on the 26th January. There is a difference though, as my regimen lasts for eight months and not six. Then if things go according to plan, I believe that the Belantamab Mafodotin becomes a monthly maintenance infusion.

Apart from having the early onset of Glaucoma (which isn’t related to the BVD regimen), I was told that my eyes are ok. I do have a problem with a low platelet count, so Charlotte (my Consultant) has dropped the Belantamab Mafodotin for my 4th cycle. So, out of the four cycles I will only have received two infusions, but I’m told that this isn’t unusual.

Anyway, I hope things continue to improve for you.

Kind Regards,
Pedro.
