Hi all.
Got my latest blood test results yesterday and everything was ok. Nothing to worry about.
My body is coping with my high level of paraproteins (41) and the medics are hoping that the rev/dex will bring that down. I'm proving a challenge, or rather the paraproteins are proving a challenge, to the medics. My specialist nurse hasn't…[Read more]

Hi Lexi.
I have multiple myeloma and my paraprotein level was 41 at last test! I started at 50 in oct 2011 and my paraproteins have proved a challenge to my medical team and I. The main thing to remember is everyone has a different journey and reacts differently to treatment. The target for me is to get below 10 and have a stem cell transplant…[Read more]

Hi Tina.
A warm welcome to the world of DEX. I've had my 4th round of DEX for my 2nd cycle of rev/dex therapy. It's 3:30am and I'm wide awake! I know I'll be sleepy all afternoon but as Tom says its worth tfe side effects for the good it does. I get chubby rosey cheeks too.
Take care

A warm welcome to Dex and am sure your good spirits will return 🙂 its worth the orf days to get into remission.

Hi Teresa
CDT is usually the first line treatment of MM – well it was for me – and is cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone and thalidomide.
