    • Close Multiple Myeloma
      Stage: II

      Found a lump on my chest in early 2008 and after a CT guided biopsy found out it was malignant they did a bone marrow biopsy which helped them diagnose me with IgG Myeloma in Feb. I've been on Revlimid/Dex/Zometa since Mar. Currently my numbers are all in the normal range.

      Treatments

      Dexamethasone Working / Worked
      Just cut my dose this month in half because it was causing me to not sleep the day I take it and be very edgy the next day. I take once a week on the weekends
      Revlimid Working / Worked
      Helped tremendously. Took my IgG number down from 3655 in Mar 08 to currently 816 in Nov 08. Side effects are shakiness, tingling in hands and feet, cramps in legs
      Zometa Working / Worked
      Take this once a month. I believe its working on my bones though I still have light pains in lower back.
