Re: Pomalyst didn't really work - Velcade is next

Hi JimNY,

You know I think you're right it was doxorubicin, vincristine and dex. I think we just said Doxil for short.

In anywise, when I see my doctor after this first round of Velcade, I will doubly check.

Hoping for good numbers:)

It sounds like we were on Revlimid for almost the same amount of time.

Since it's been since May that you've been on Velcade, how are the results?

They seem to bee good at this point, IgG has come down to 1380 after rising to around 4000 earlier this year. Another bone marrow biopsy in a few weeks to get a better picture ... yuck.
