However, the velcade left me with a very nasty case of neuropathy. Some folks get over this, some do not. I did. I've just started up with more vecade - however this time around, I'm doing the subcutaneous method. The shot apparently has been proven to deliver the punch you need, but you need, but 50% less chance of getting the neuropathy. Ask your mom's doctor about this. And best of luck to her.babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807679245560128457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107951278396437262.post-28468567161698451062011-10-20T20:13:33.054-05:002011-10-20T20:13:33.054-05:00No updates that I know of.No updates that I know of.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923592545983795350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107951278396437262.post-2200385599450007282011-10-20T18:28:36.366-05:002011-10-20T18:28:36.366-05:00any updates to this finding? my mom has just been ...any updates to this finding? my mom has just been diagnosed w/ stage 3 MM and is currently on RVD.

I do drink a ton of black tea, though. My first Velcade regimen held for 6 months, but the last one (without decadron) seems to hav failed after 2 months. Doc is running additional tests to be sure. However, I would like more info on black tea and Velcade. Thanks for the heads up. I was dxed in Dec 1996 with stage 3B MM at age 42. God is very good to me, as we did not have many of the drugs that are available now, yet the cancer disappeared after two years and stayed away for six years.

Maybe I should also go running. (I hope that the Google translation from Dutch to English is correct.) <BR/><BR/>HansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
