    • Close Multiple Myeloma

      I was diagnosed with MM on 5/17/2005. I have type IgG. I don't know what stage I'm in since I have been responding well to my treatment. My myeloma was discovered because my Dr had ordered a non-routine blood test (turned out his sister has MM).

      Treatments

      Dexamethasone Working / Worked
      Don't respond well to Dex. I swell up (especially my face) and gain weight and feel terrible. Dr took me off after about 4 weeks
      Velcade Working / Worked
      Currently receiving. Responding well and my only side effect is fatigue
      Thalidomide Working / Worked
      First had 2006. Developed sun-sensitivity and taken off 7/3/06. IgG lowered from 3000's to about 1000 in about 4 months
