my mother is suffering from Multiple Myeloma for last three years now the disease is again progressive after first remission the doctors have prescribed lenilidomide +dexamethasone which is not appearing effective as the same dose has already been given to her for initial treatment what are the other options in India
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your mother is suffering from multiple myeloma.  Initial treatment is realized plus dexamethasone.  If relapse occur or patient does not respond to treatment then other option like bortezomib is useful. In refractory cases bone marrow transplantation is helpful. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
