Just was diagnosed on Wednesday and they are going to start <a data-ga="smart-link_click" href="/treatments/velcade">Velcade</a>, <a data-ga="smart-link_click" href="/treatments/revlimid">Revlimid</a> and Decadron next week. I was reading that you must take a blood thinner with the <a data-ga="smart-link_click" href="/treatments/revlimid">Revlimid</a>. Oncologist hematologist recommended a baby aspirin. Is this what everyone else is taking with <a data-ga="smart-link_click" href="/treatments/revlimid">Revlimid</a> to prevent blood clots. Or are you taking something stronger? The risk of blood clots makes me nervous.

Me too..I carry large bottles of water with me everywhere. I know where every bathroom is in town!

Wendy, RVD is standard induction protocol. Most people respond to it. I'm on aspirin 325. But I'm on <a data-ga="smart-link_click" href="/treatments/pomalyst">Pomalyst</a>. I was worried about clots too. Drinking water and walking helps prevent clots as well💕

I take one 81 mg aspirin a day while on <a data-ga="smart-link_click" href="/treatments/revlimid">Revlimid</a>.

I take two baby aspirins a nd I walk daily. I have not had any problems with blood clots.
