Darzalex schedule change

0

I recently had a change in my dara schedule. I had been going once every 4 weeks, prior to this month. My doctor decided to have me go every 2 weeks, starting this month (April, 2019). He wanted to give that a try because of an increase in k/l ratio.

I still have a pretty low level of disease, so we’ll see what the change in treatment frequency does.

2009 Myeloma update

15

I don’t have a lot to blog about here because my myeloma has been stable since last fall. There’s not much there at all.  If you don’t have myeloma, I have only a little bit more than you do.

These labs were done 12/08/2008
