Multiplmyeloma ıss2
HELLO EVERYONE I want a share with you Father is 57 years old and was diagnosed about 6 months ago with plasma cell neoplasm / multiple myeloma (ISS stage 2). His genetic tests came back normal.
His treatment process went as follows:
First, he received VBD treatment.
Later, he was switched to the VRD protocol.
Overall, he responded well to treatment.
Afterwards, he underwent an autologous stem cell transplant.
He stayed in the hospital for 18 days and was then discharged. However, when the whole process started, he weighed 82 kg, and now he is down to 64 kg.
At the moment, because of the post-transplant high-dose Melphalan damage/effects, he is struggling to eat. He has persistent nausea and vomiting.
I have a few questions for people who have gone through a similar process:
When did your appetite come back after transplant?
How did you stop the weight loss?
Did anyone experience bile vomiting or severe stomach sensitivity?
How long did it take before you started gaining weight again?
What helped the most during this period?
I would really appreciate hearing about similar experiences. Thank you in advance.
