I will start the induction therapy with RVCd next week, for 4 cycles. Do you feel the side effects accumulate or it’s like the first couple of weeks throughout?

Hello btu

Sorry that you’ve not had a reply to your post, but good luck with your induction treatment.

I’ve met quite a few myeloma patients through our local myeloma support group here in the North West, and the simple answer to your question is …. it varies between patients, everyone is individual. Some seem to sail through induction treatment with little or no side effects, others seem to struggle.

I’ve had three out of four of your drug combo, the V+C+d, at first line in 2013 and second line in 2019. For me the side effects did increase with each cycle and I was glad to get to the end of eight cycles. Good news is that most do ease quickly after treatment is finished.

Hope this helps.
