Darzalex as a single agent
I haven’t posted any updates lately. The reason is, after having had MM for so long, I just don’t think about it very much. It’s not like it was in the beginning. I used to wake up every day, and that was the first thing I’d think about. That was 2003. It’s just a part […] (Source: beth's myeloma blog)

Jan Bieschke of Washington University in St. Louis studies how proteins fold and shape themselves, and how these processes can contribute to a variety of diseases. He says the compound […] (Source: beth's myeloma blog)

Revlimid, Darzalex and Dex
It’s been ages since I posted, but that’s because there’s been nothing new to report. I recently began treatment with one of the new-ish monoclonal antibodies called Darzalex (daratumumab, aka dara). In addition to Darzalex, I’m taking an older drug that I’ve used before, called Revlimid. Once a week, I take a 20mg dose of […] (Source: beth's myeloma blog)

One of those weeks
I’m having one of those weeks in which I feel exhausted at the cellular level. It wears me out to speak, even. I have new labs to post, but it’ll have to wait until I have a bit more energy. I think this has been building for a while now. I decided that I’m going […] (Source: beth's myeloma blog)

Just about 8 years
It’s been nearly 8 years now since I checked into the Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant Clinic at Duke for my autologous SCT. I hate that my transplant buddy, Joyce, couldn’t make it this far with me. When she told me her time was running out, I didn’t realize how fast it would go. I […] (Source: beth's myeloma blog)

Farewell, friend.
I just found out that my friend, Joyce Wells, has died. Myeloma took her life. Joyce and I met in 2003, because she saw something I posted to the ACOR myeloma list, and wrote to me. I always signed my posts, “Beth in NC.” Joyce asked where I lived in North Carolina, and it turned out […] (Source: beth's myeloma blog)

Here ’ s some news
I got a dog! It’s been some years since my faithful dog Buddy died rather suddenly. I’ve missed him terribly. A few months after his death, I adopted a sick old collie, who I took care of until kidney failure took her life. This summer, I was working on a client’s network (the client is […] (Source: beth's myeloma blog)

Sunny Fall Day
This is my cat, Peeps, taking a snooze on the back porch on a sunny October day. Peeps has been with me for a few years now. She showed up at my house one winter. I called her Peeps because she used to stand up at the door and peep into the house through the […] (Source: beth's myeloma blog)
