Hello
My Mom is 73, diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2014. She was treated with V.A.D + steroid + radiation to the spinal column (D2).
After that she got thalidomide + steroid for 5 years and Aredia for 3 years.
She suffers from neuropathy, osteoporosis, and hypothyroidism.
After that remission for 5 years
Last month they did blood test & CT PET and found that multiple myeloma is relapsed. She must start treatment immediately. They want to give her Velcade injections in two weeks - 4 injections.
I would like your advice:
1. Do you think Velcade is the right one for her? We heard there are new treatments: Kyprolis (carfilzomib). Do you have any idea what we need to ask the doctors?
2. Any one has a similar story that can tell us some tips?
Thank you in advance,
Nana
