@sylvia67 My kidney disease is caused by an ultra-rare autoimmune condition. I knew back in 2015 when the diagnosis came in, that eventually I might be on dialysis. My oncologist and nephrologist determined the myeloma is not affecting my kidneys, so far. I am on two different high blood pressure meds to keep the strain off my kidneys, and following a strict renal diet. Plus exercise as much as possible, reduce stress.
And, I start oral chemo for the myeloma, today. We will keep a close eye on the kidney function.
