Hi Helen
my mum is just about to start her 3rd cycle of CDT. She was on 50mg of thalidomide for the first month and although she was feeling dizzy she managed well. For the 2nd month the thalidomide was increased to 100mg and after only 1 week she was bed ridden and couldn’t do do anything for herself and was taken to hospital where it was agreed to lower the thalidomide back to 50mg. Within days she was back to how she was. We also got the results of her para protein levels. They had decreased from 44 to 21. We are hopeful that even on the lower dose the levels will keep decreasing as a higher dose isn’t an option for her.
