@stanmurray Has your medical team told you the Revlimid is a contributing factor to the ALL leukemia? When a person's immune system is compromised in some way, other disease factors may raise their head.
I was diagnosed with active MM a year ago, and just started taking revlimid, three weeks on, one week off. At this time, no side effects except a mild rash on my lower legs, benefiting from cream and benadryl.

The 'Docs' probably don't want to mention the connection..Revlimid/ALL. I always felt lucky to be healthy for years after the initial MM. No upside to mentioning the possible connection now except that the MM Doc may be 'wised up' regarding never reducing the daily Revlimid dose for the his current and future patients. I just remembered..I have been healthy but did have spinal compression fractures that left me 3 or 4 inches 'less tall' and gave me pain fairly constantly..small doses of morphine helped.
