My husband has been in good remission a year after his first lot of chemo and then stem cell transplant and is on lenalidamide maintenance treatment. He's been having his childhood vaccines, several of which made him feel quite poorly.

Over this time of vacinations his monthly bloods have been showing slightly elevated light chains. Paraproteins are non existent but his consultant saying they are concerned the lenalidamide isn't working.

Is it possible an increase could be from the body's response to the vaccinations? He's also been having a lot of gout attacks.

Thanks

Hi Janien. Sorry to hear husband concerns on blood tests I have MM 17 months post stem cell transplant. Just come off Lenolidamide as I have had severe skin rash. I would not have thought the catch up inoculations would be the cause. I finished my course about 2 months ago and had the normal flu type symptoms with some of them Foot can be very painful and possibly the lower level of immunity has made it worse. I am sure the gout is being treated ? And perhaps asking for frequent blood checks to keep on track with the results. How often are his appointments with the hematologist? Kevin
