Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM): Deciding treatment options

Posted by weissmntc @weissmntc, Dec 16, 2023

I was diagnosed this week with WM. No symptoms except persistent anemia and periodic breathlessness. I had a bone marrow biopsy which confirmed IgM, free kappa chain levels etc. Treatment likely to begin in January. Offered 2 treatment choices (chemo for 6 months (benda-R) or zanutrinib orally “forever”). Looking for anyone’s firsthand experience in how you made the decision of which treatment to go for.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

Probably wasn’t clear that DF suggested the infusion, not local.
