@sifuenteslinde I am trying to research something, and wondering if you can be of assistance. Currently undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma, with lenolinamide and Ninlaro plus dexamethasone, treatment since August 2021. Also, I am an end stage renal disease patient on peritoneal dialysis, since Sept 2022. In July of this year we modified my dialysis fluids from dextrose base, to maltose base. Since then, I have felt so much better, tolerating the daily dialysis better, better energy, etc. What my oncologist and I have also seen is how my numbers are seeming to respond favorably to this. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, M spike, etc are awesome. Is there a connection here, worth investigating? Could the switch to a different dialysis fluid base be having a positive effect on my cancer numbers? Are there others on PD dialysis and chemotherapy who have had this experience, or wonder if it could work for them? Where do I turn, how do I find out more?

Hi @gingerw thank you for your questions. I would be curious if others have had a similar experience you had with your PD dialysis and chemotherapy. Have you asked your oncology care team these questions?
