It's great to hear that you're feeling better after completing one cycle of chemotherapy. Here are some key points about chemotherapy for multiple myeloma:

- Chemotherapy Cycles: Chemotherapy is typically administered in cycles of treatment and recovery. Most people with myeloma receive around four cycles in one complete course, although some plans may include 12 cycles or more.
- Duration: The initial course usually lasts four to six months. After this, other treatments like stem cell transplants or additional chemotherapy cycles may be considered.
- Treatment Schedule: Chemotherapy is administered for several hours over consecutive days, followed by a recovery period of a few weeks to allow your body to rest.
- Side Effects: Each class of chemotherapy drugs causes different side effects, which depend on the drug combination, dosage, and individual response.

If you have any concerns or need more information, please consult your medical oncologist. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific treatment plan.
