Has Anyone Found Out They Have Osteonecrosis (dying Bone) Anyplace Besides Their Jaw? Was There Anything Specific You Do To Manage It?

Granbury-Acton, TX

I have a torn meniscus in my right knee and the Dr's are promising me I'll need a knee replacement someday. I am in remission for MM, but I also have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. At a Dr's appt today, partly to determine how stable my bones would be to do the knee replacement, an x-ray revealed that I have some osteonecrosis. (I am waiting a while before doing the replacement, but we are monitoring how my knee is doing.) So - if you've been diagnosed with osteonecrosis (someplace besides… read more

If You Were Asked To Enter A Clinical Trial Would You Do It?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Moorestown, NJ

My concern is that once you enter you’re stuck with it for the duration. Meaning you may be one of the few who don’t make it to the end of the overall survival line.

I want to be able to opt out 2 years later for that new drug bookabookabab and then 3 years later for dinkadeeabab.

Because I want to keep going and expire from something else.

A MyMyelomaTeam Member

Like I said......yes, I agree too Mark! I'm noting those chemicals for future reference 😉
