Multiple Myeloma: Come introduce yourself and let's talk

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.

@totopeg, this is wonderful news. Thank you for sharing. Can you get the blood work done close to home or do you have to go to the cancer center?

As of three months ago, my doctor decided that I am i remission. No Velcade injections and Dex. I do get blood work done every month and see the doc every two months. Hope, progress and blessings!
