Hi,
My mum (multiple myeloma) was told by the haemotology doctor to cease her first cycle of Lenalidomide/Dexamethasone from Thursday, so 3 doses since, believing toxicity. I noticed tonight she had a non-itching rash all over her belly, the tops of her thighs, breasts & down one of her arms. It's not significantly hotter than the non rash parts & her temperature is still 36.4°C like it was this morning. I rang the hospital helpline & they advised an anti allergy tablet so we had Cetirizine in the house & I gave her one of those. They said to monitor her closely & call back if symptoms worsen. Has anyone had any experience of the days after toxicity or even neutropenic sepsis, which it kindly warned you about on the advice card the hospital number was on!
Thanks
Steph
Hi Steph
I'm sorry to hear how your mum's first cycle of Lenalidomide/Dexamethasone has affected her.
Could I suggest that you also post this in the myeloma group, which I can see you've joined, as your may well find people in that group who have experienced this.
