Hi
I’m on my last 6 weeks of DVTD after stem cell , my consultant has said I will need to go on maintenance drug Lenalidomide, I’m so worried about side effects, is anyone on here on this and can reassure me
Hi busylizzie
I have just finished RADAR trial which had lenalidomide as part of the treatment, regretfully my treatment has failed and am now going onto second line DVD. I have to be honest i did not have any major issues apart from tiredness and fatigue but as i have now been off them for 6 weeks and still tired all the time I blame the cancer and not the drugs. If you have issues please dont hesitate to speak to your nurse or consultant,
