Re: Neuropathy from Velcade: can it occur late in treatment?

I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March 2012 in my jaw. I was on RVD for 8 months. I started getting neuropathy in my hands and feet. A nurse told me about Velcade subq (shot). I switched, and the neuropathy went away.

Dr Tabor believes my husband is experiencing restless leg syndrome since it mainly seems to bother him at night. It has gotten a little better for him. He is now just being monitored. He will now get blood work and see his oncologist every 3 months with skeletal x-rays every 6 months unless things start to change.
