Aches & pain at start of Velcade maintenance

by dogmom on Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:06 am

Well, my husband completed his 3-month consolidation treatment and has started Velcade injections every other week for at least two years as the plan stands now.

He had no ill effects from the Velcade previously, but this time he felt achy, stiff, headache and had trouble sleeping for the first day or so after.

We wonder if it is because this is the first time he has had it without the dex to maybe "mask" those symptoms a little. Any thoughts?
