I was diagnosed in July 2015 and started on Kyprolis (carfilzomib), Revlimid, and dex. Tentatively scheduled for the auto stem cell transplant in November. Tolerating the therapy very well.

RVD with excellent results. My wife has had no side effects and M spike has dropped to around 1.

I started receiving dexamethasone through IV, now on 2x daily via pill. Zometa IV 4 mg monthly for the next 9 months. I am just two weeks into my initial treatment.
