Re: Side effects of pomalyst

by royjulius on Tue Jun 04, 2013 8:38 am

Alma keeps telling me she is too far gone to try any treatments now. I want her to try Pom, but she says her whites are down to 1.5-ish. Is she correct? Could another drug like Pomalyst finish her off by killing the rest of her immune system? I've read that Pom is easier on the nerve pain and cramps issues, that's why I keep wanting her to try it. Any advice out there?

I just thought of something that might work to tell her. She is in a LOT of pain lately, if she gets on Pom, do you guys think it will help with her pain?
