Does your insurance pay for your meds ?
Any side effects from the darzalex?
I'm already getting anxious for my 3 month blood test.
Hope there are none or minimal side effects on your Dvrd. 8 weeks too sounds short term. Go beat that beast down !!!

My insurance has covered all of my meds. The only reaction I have had from Darzalex has been a red swollen face rash mostly under my eyes and on my cheeks. I met with my myeloma specialist at the Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute on Friday. The plan is that after 4 x 28 day cycles (approx july 21), we will begin harvesting my stem cells. It has all happened very quickly after my last PET scan results on March 17. After recovery from transplant we will resume monthly treatments with Darzalex and Revlimid for 2-3 years and do another bmb. If good we will stop treatment and watch and wait. By then, I will be 64 and praying that our brilliant research teams find a cure! Stay positive, stay loving, stay strong!
