Maintenance therapy with Revlimid (lenalidomide) can last indefinitely until there is evidence of disease progression or relapse, as long as the patient tolerates the drug well. The goal is to maintain remission and prevent the disease from worsening. If side effects become problematic, it's important to discuss with an oncologist to determine the best course of action.

I was taking Relamid for about 7 months 1 1/2 years ago. Now not on for the rest of the time. I have SMM, so that may make a difference. Stay as healthy as possible. God Bless You Dale.

Hi Dale, I’ve been taking 10 mg. Revlimid for 21 days on and 7 days off for the last 5 years with good results. Really not any bad side effects except the occasional fatigue that seems to be what a lot of people deal with. Guess I’ll just keep taking as long as it’s keeps working. I do get blood work done every 3 months to keep a check on things.
