Panobinostat, Velcade and Dex

May 8, 2017 by Sarah’s Myeloma Blog

Well, I’ve had to move on. Pom didn’t work very well. My levels went up high – mid – 2000s and even though they then stabilised, there wasn’t any sign they’d come down. I was very fatigued, but otherwise coped OK. Easter was a bit manic – my consultant was away and while we knew […]

Better DEX Experience

April 5, 2016 by Don

Three weeks ago I whined mightily about taking DEX.  The worst problem was acid reflux the second night after taking it, but there were other issues too.  I’m happy to say that I have had better experiences since then.

Whining About DEX

March 17, 2016 by Don

Dexamethasone (DEX) is a part of many myeloma regimens – my doctor says “everything works better with DEX.”  I’ve taken it before, and not liked it then, but this most recent experience is something new indeed.

Adventure In Pain

February 24, 2016 by Don

Lots has happened since my last post, and this is a record of those events.  I have to write it somewhere.  It’s interesting to me, part of the journey, but you’ll be the judge.  It’s mostly whining.
