Thank you davepr. Treatment given today and consultant happy with bloods . Protein level not back but happy to wait until next week in view of significant drop last week. So hoping for more good news then.
The fatigue discussed and seems it’s not a common side effect with this treatment. From his diagnosis 7 years ago he has suffered tiredness but not on this level. Previous to this treatment he was walking daily with no problems. Plus pottering in our garden.
However apart from this, the important thing is treatment working. And eating really well.
So taking your advice and consultant advised the same, a little every day and build energy up again.
Hope you are all keeping well and treatment doing the job for you too.

Well we got terrific news yesterday. No trace of paraproteins. Amazing result after such a short time on this new treatment.

My husband coping well with the fatigue, making sure he walks every day and being as active as he can be.

So after the initial ups and downs with Elran, he’s now in a very good place. Treatment will continue weekly from here on.

In posting this I trust it gives all who are getting this treatment great hope that it’ll be the same result for them.

Wishing all a very peaceful and joyful Christmas.

Hi Trishananny. So glad it’s good news for your husband. It makes it all worthwhile when you get results like that – the best Christmas present you could wish for.
I’m also doing well on Elran, paraproteins below detection level and just a bit of tiredness. Only other thing now is low haemoglobin and ‘pale’ red blood cells. They gave me iron tablets but they play havoc with my digestive system so I’ve stopped taking them for now.
Best Christmas wishes to all of you on the forum and here’s hoping for good things in 2025.

Thank you Pennylaws and great to hear you are coping well with Elran and doing its job.

My husband has no other issues except the fatigue . His haemoglobin , white cells etc all normal readings. At times he has little appetite but to keep up his iron etc he does take three good meals a day.

I’ll keep you posted if the fatigue eases. But this is a small price to pay for a treatment that works .

Regards

Trisha
