I am a three year survivor of Multiple Myeloma. I receive injections of Velcade every 2 weeks, with 8 mg of Dexamethasone. Velcade is my second chemo drug. Good news is, there is always a new drug! Some ups and downs during this 3 year period. We were going to try a bone marrow transplant, but that did not go well for me. Right now my numbers look good, so I have a lot to be thankful for. I have wonderful doctors and family support which is key. If your doc is not listening to you, find one who will.
