What’s The Word On Alcohol? I’ve Had 2 Beers In 2 Years And I’m In Tears!

I remember my doctor saying no alcohol during induction chemo but haven’t asked him during maintenance. What can you tell me about it? What has your doctor advised? I’m currently on the maintenance regimen of 10mg Revlimid 21/7, dexamethasone and Darzalex monthly.

I Need Feedback. I Have A Relative Who Says I’m Using My Smoldering MM As An Excuse To Not Do Things Or Garner Sympathy.

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Santa Ana, CA

This relative says SMM is a benign condition that does not cause symptoms. On top of SMM, I have a heart condition, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, Cushing’s from a high corticosteroid, so I am losing my eyebrows and some of my hair. Kidney stone too. I used to be so active, that it bothers me to rest too much. I wish I had the energy.
