Re: How much Dex?

by Canuck Bob on Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:01 pm

I get a treatment protocol of Vel/Dex 2 weeks on and 1 week off twice weekly. The dose is 20mg dex on chemo day and the one after. My tolerance is excellent except for little sleep for a day or two. It has been startlingly effective. My numbers adjusted quickly and the bone pain disappeared as well. My doctor also wanted me on the Dex with no reductions.

My ASCT is plaaned for early Sept. as well.
