Hi

Everyone is different but I delayed starting treatment for a month so that I could have a holiday. I don’t think it made any difference. As experienced people here keep saying battling this disease is a marathon not a sprint. Having said that I know when I finished my 6 cycles of initial therapy (CDT) it took more than a month before I felt somewhere near normal again.

I am on my 10th cycle of Revlimid and have been taken off treatment for a month whilst I underwent a Prostate operation and had a couple of teeth out. I expect to go back on treatment at the end of Aug. In the grand scheme of things, I was informed, this should not make a lot of difference. I go in Friday to see my Consultant and it will be interested to hear the results of my blood test for the skipped month.

Kindest regards – vasbyte

Hi
I too am having a month off treatment, mainly as none have worked for very long for me, so I’m having a break, more bloods then see what happens. If your dad is finding it very hard going then perhaps it is best for him
