My Stem Cell Transplant Didn't Take They Don't Want To Do Another One I Get A Daratumumab Injection Once A Month. Aprox How Long Do I Have
Jim. The end of this month, I will be receiving one Darzalex injection (Daratumumab) once a month. Prior to this, the injections were every two weeks, starting in the beginning of July. In conjunction with the injections, I took 2 tablets of Dexamethasone the day of the injection, the day after and two days after. Dexamethasone is used to treat blood or bone marrow disorders. One warning, if this drug is part of your treatment, is to not suddenly stop using it. When I soon start Darzalex treatments just once a month, I will still be taking a smaller dose of Dexamethasone and 10 mg of Singulaire. I'm assuming you may be taking the same medicine. I apologize if I'm wrong. The point I'm really trying to make is that my bloodwork gradually has improved, a little bit at a time, since I began these treatments. I'm suggesting to you to please give your doctors and the medicine a chance to work. Improvement may be slow. For now, I'm keeping you in my prayers.
The doctors said I will continue with what I'm on and when it quits working try another. Really how long can the body take that. So I will be on chemo until I die. I hope that is a very long time for now. I would just like to know realistically what I should plan for. Months ,years. Or should I start planning now.
