Stewart, Myeloma and after the Lenalidomide (Revlimid ) Drug Trial

In March 2007 I began participation in the Lenalidomide ( also known as Revlimid) Drug Trial as a patient at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh. I made 5 cycles, couldn't make the 6th and then came off the trial. April 2008 and I then went on to melphalan, thalidomide and prednisolone. I'm now off that as it was of no further benefit. This blog charts this new post lenalidomide/revlimid journey.

About Me

Stewart
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2003 and since then I have had six regimes of chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant; a significant pulmonary embolism and two dvts, have become diabetic and had a plate inserted in each arm and a pin in my leg in February 2007. I was included in the Lenalidomide Study at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh. After 6 months of no treatment I went on a chemo regime involving prednisolone, melphalan and thalidomide. I'm now off that but my paraprotein is now rising quite quickly
