What Causes Lymphedema While On Chemotherapy For Multiple Myeloma?
My husband was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. He has had 23 radiation treaments and responded well. Chemo began in April...it has been difficult for him. Complications from meds have resulted in weight loss and severe lymphadema. Two weeks ago his oncologist suspended chemo until the end of September. I m concerned that this could mean the chemo isn t working.
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your symptoms are due to side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. So that your doctor suspended chemotherapy. So we can not say that drug is not working. Drug is working but its complications are very high. Other treatment options are stem celltransplantation. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
