    I am now on  a Revlimid Course 28. I have recently had a craving for Grapefruit (fruit) not the drink.

    Somewhere I seem to remember that this is to be avoided by Myeloma suffers, is this correct ??

    Advice from anyone would be welcome.

    Hello

    I have always been aware of it but never know if there is any truth in it, but I have grapefruit for breakfast regularly even when I am on on chemo, ( been on both Velcade and Revlimid over the years) but never had any problems.

    Best ask your consultant I suppose but I’m not sure if even they know for sure.

    Hi Colin

    Think the thing with grapefruit is if you are on statins. I must say I miss them!

    Best wishes.
