Another great video. I've had myeloma since 2005 and now have AML (acute myeloid leukemia). Can you please do a video on patients dealing with two blood cancers? I'm more familiar with what's going on in the myeloma world than I am in the AML world.

Started Dex as part of immunotherapy, with Daratumumab, nearly 3 years ago and have gradually been lowering the dose over that time. Gave me insomnia and a raging appetite. Not a good combination! Up all night looking for something else to eat! I've put on about 60 lbs!, I think it's effecting my hip joints and have some early liver problems. I hope to be off Dex altogether soon and can lose some of that extra weight.

So will it remain a part of the maintenance therapy? I’m all for coming off some of the drugs.

I have been diagnosed with a plasmacytoma in my right humerus bone in April of 2024, and have just been told that the odds are quite high that it might turn into multiple myeloma down the line. Now I try to prepare myself for what sounds almost inevitable to come my way.

Pretty sure I had smoldering myeloma for several years before it really blew up. Over that time my PCP pretty much shrugged her shoulders when I asked about my high protein numbers at physicals. If I knew then what I know now... Not sure what it would take to get the word out about Smoldering Myeloma. But I'm sure it would potentially keep others from getting sicker, especially as we learn more about keeping it at bay.

I lost my father after a long and expensive treatment that started in 2021. After four cycles, the doctor prescribed a type of capsule. Unfortunately, I didn’t carefully check the expiry date. On the front, it showed an expiry of 2025, but after my father’s passing, I wanted to donate the remaining capsules to a needy patient. Upon opening the used pack, I was shocked to find two stamps with two different expiry dates, the original was 2022, but a fraudulent stamp showed 2025. Please take care of your patients and always be vigilant when using medicines.

My company is remote first so I’m not sure they’d pass the 50 employees with 75 miles criterion once I hit one year with them the end of February. I have chosen to disclose nothing about my situation simply for self-protection. There are days when it feels less than above board but losing my job over cancer would be worse.

For those of us who have MM but are not drs, this was a bit confusing. Get that many were pre-treated patients and some were not and those who had not received any treatment before responded better. Question: for each group (pretreated vs non pretreated) who were in the 44.3% that did respond to this treatment what was the average survival time for each group? For either group were there any months of complete remission observed?

I had multiple myeloma since 2025. I did almost 100 marathons ranging from 10K to 42K. Over the holidays I was also notified that I had AML leukemia. A new adventure for sure. What awaits me is still to unfold. In the meantime I'm going to focus on my life and leave the medical stuff up to the doctors. If you ever want to interview me, let me know. Thanks!!!!

I have had multiple myeloma since 2005. I was on the elranatomab trial when a bone marrow biopsy indicated I now have AML. I was told my prognosis is grim but I refuse to give up. Is there anything positive with this new situation? I am being treated for AML at the moment but am unsure about the myeloma side. I'm 68 years young with a very positive attitude. I would like Dr Joe to address this issue maybe with a leukemia specialist because I'm sure there are many people in my position
