Why continue with Revlimid (lenalidomide) after stem cell transplant?
I was diagnosed with MM in 2024 and I have had a stem cells transplant. Just finished the remaining 2 circles of chemo two weeks ago and my Haematologist has asked me to start the maintenance meditation which is lenalidomide, but I have refused to start because I am tired of medications. Is there one that have refused to take the medication and why? I am just confused about everything at the moment, please help me. Many thanks

I would suggest that you start the medication. Do your homework, but never underestimate how tricky multiple myeloma is. I have had most of the treatments out there for my multiple myeloma and now in a clinic trial. I stopped the Revlimid for a short time because I also was tired of all the medication. The multiple myeloma came back soon after quitting the maintenance therapy. It is a sneaky disease and can become resistant to a therapy. Keep fighting, keep informed, and never underestimate the seriousness of this disease.
