Hi,
I am also a MM survivor and I live in Lugoff, SC. If you ever want to get together and just talk, I would love that. God Bless and best of luck.

Oh, why is your doctor taking you off the Revlamid? My oncologist says I will be on it for as long as it keeps my MM at bay. When it stops working, he will try something else.

2nd,
I too have neuropathy in my left leg as well as drop foot. I use a walker to get around. I do have a prescription for pain killers but my pain is low level and is limited to my lower back and knee also because of compression fractures in many of my vertibrea. I had kyphoplasty about a year ago where they filled 3 of my vertibrae with cement. My oncologist says when I get some newer fractures they will be able to do more. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad think. Although having to use a walker at my age is a little depressing, my over-riding emotion is joy and the appreciation for being alive. They had only given me 2 weeks to live when I was diagnosed 3 years ago. Thank you for your response. Somehow knowing that there are others like me, who are dealing with many of the same issues is comforting.

Hi 2nd Chance,
We are only one city apart. I live in Lugoff, SC. Anyway, just wanted to wish you well and say hello. God Bless.
