Good for you!!! You are right...it is definitely "worth it" to go through the induction therapy and get to that "new normal". I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in Dec 2012, SCT in Sep 2013. Have been in a clinical trial since before the SCT (0702). My maintenance medication on the study has been Revlimid only and am currently taking 5 mg daily. I understand the "new normal" of the side effects of this drug and you are right, I am fortunate to be managing them pretty well. I am new to Phoenix and new to the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center. I am blessed to be here and look forward to getting more involved with the Cancer Center and volunteering once I am settled.
