It sounds like you're concerned about managing your maintenance therapy for myeloma around the time of your knee replacement surgery. Here are some key points from my knowledge base that might help:

- Consult Your Oncologist: It's crucial to discuss your concerns with your oncologist. They can provide guidance on how to manage your medications before and after surgery.
- Side Effects and Risks: Maintenance therapy drugs like lenalidomide are generally well-tolerated but can have side effects such as changes in blood counts and increased risk of blood clots.
- Support Systems: Keeping a calendar or using a pillbox can help manage your medication schedule. If you need additional support, talk to your nursing team or nurse navigator.
