Possible relapse for my sister

Your subject heading indicates that you are worried that your sister's diarrhoea could mean that she is relapsing.

You mention that she is on 'medication'. If she is on myeloma medication, then that could well include lenalidomide (brand name Revlimid) or conceivably thalidomide or pomalidomide. Is that right?

This group of chemo drugs can start to have side effects over time. I know this from my own experience. At 18 months remission, I started getting diarrhoea: the consultant reduced my dose of lenalidomide. The diarrhoea eased off.

Thank you so much for your help - I hope you are keeping well. I will tell my sister. With kind regards Serve Chilled
