For Multiple Myeloma "I was given Thilidomide and Dex when my MM was first diagnosed in 2005. After nine months, Velcade was administered before I had a stem cell transplant in 2006. My number was 286 and within one month on Velcade with Dex, it dropped to 5. I was in remission for a year and a half after transplant and now I am looking for help. My doctor tried the new Revlimid and Dex which gave me all the same side effects that Thilidomide and Dex had earlier, such as neuropathy, mouth sores, dizziness etc."

For Multiple Myeloma "I received Valcade for multi-myeloma for four and a half months. I was scheduled for another 4 months but reached a level of remission that did not require any more chemo. Pleased with the results. I add that I made major adjustments to my diet per recommendations of natural cancer care books and articles. The treatments worked well together."

For Multiple Myeloma "I did 6/3-week cycles of Velcade injection once per week. Over 18 weeks, it completely knocked the cancer back and put me back into remission. Then my problems started. Now, 7 weeks in remission, and I feel worse than ever. Fatigue is terrible, no strength in my legs, lack of balance, having to use a walking stick. The upper part of my body is okay, blood pressure is normal, body temperature is normal. I feel weaker than at any time while on chemo."

For Multiple Myeloma "My Dr started me on Velcade the day I was diagnosed. I had multiple myeloma in 94% of my body when diagnosed. Very minimal side effects. My face gets flushed and hot for a few days after treatment and I’m a little more tired than normal. With all that being said, I thank the Lord and my Doctor for this treatment."
