This was wonderful! I'm on Revlimid, Darselex, and Dexamethasone. The therapy has gone well and MDs are happy. I will go to Moffitt in Tampa next week for consult and feel much more confident having seen your video. Thank you for this as I am alone and overwhelmed.

I have IgG myeloma:stage III. Paraprotein 79g/L. I started Daratumumab, Velcade, Thalidomide, Dexamethasone. Very soon Velcade and Thalidomide were stopped because of severe peripheral neuropathy. Daratumumab and Dexamethasone reduced my Paraprotein to 0g/L. Daratumumab allowed me to have a bone marrow transplant. I now have Lenalidomide as maintenance therapy.

My father was diagnosed with MM and thankfully he is doing well.. however his hemoglobin levels are low.

[@gracestrand2240]

Dr Banerjee, you mentioned Kaiser s treatment regiment. I d need a little more info about this. New diagnosis MM has Kaiser Sr Plan , is there a way to explore if their protocol is Ideal. Suggestions appreciated.

[@OncData]

"We'd recommend talking to your doctor about the details. In brief, Kaiser often uses a drug called isatuximab instead of one called daratumumab. Both work similarly well, but isatuximab is an IV infusion while daratumumab is an injection." - Dr. Banerjee

[@gracestrand2240]

@@OncData I appreciate that clarification. Thank you

[@amyjenkins9187]

What is it that shows up in blood work that gives the indication of mm?

[@vnvela8613]

Spike in protein in urine.

[@amyjenkins9187]

Thanks for your reply

[@vnvela8613]

Revlimid is chemotherapy? Or is it that when you say chemo, it applies to transplant eligible procedure?

[@kilabermudez2840]

Some countries in Europe are more advance in treating Multiple Myeloma in the USA are more interested in making money from patients
