Was diagnosed in Sept. 2009. Underwent treatment with Doxil & Velcade. Had a rest, had my stem cells removed & in storage. Then started another cycle until a few months ago. The Doxil made me very sick. The Velcade has left me with peripheral nerve damage in my left foot. My c cells went back up after a few weeks. I was put on Revlimid & Dexamethasone with almost no side effects. We are waiting to see if my "c" cells stay down before facing the autologus cell transplantation. I just don't know what to do about it. I too suffer and have been in treatment for multiple myeloma. Was diagnosed in Sept. 2009. Underwent treatment with Doxil & Velcade.
