I am wondering if anyone on CTD therapy has experienced a slow heat rate. I have today had a ECG which was perfectly steady but heart rate at 50. I may have to have 24 hr test but thought I would see if anyone else has experienced this’side effect’ if indeed that is what it is.
many thanks.Wendy.

HI judy,
I also have lambda light-chain myeloma but I am on CDT chemotherapy with a view to stem cell transplant if all goes well. What does your clinic trial CCRD involve?

Hi Nikki,
Hope all goes well for you tomorrow.
I had marrow and bone biopsy a few weeks ago.Plasma cells were 22-25%- not too bad-bones OK on skeletal survey so presume bone biopsy was too(didn’t ask about that).However although consultant said ‘kidneys weren’t too bad’ I was put on CTD and Alpurinol to prevent further damage.
From what I read in…[Read more]
