My father has been suffering from multiple
myeloma (heavy chain myeloma , with a
slight increase in Kappa chains).
He was previously given radiation because
the cancer (plasmacyetoma) was first
localized in his left mandible. But after
8 months both his kidneys failed and he
was diagnosed multiple myeloma. since then
he is dialysis dependent and and being
treated with Delta cortile and
Cyclophosphamide 5 day course of 6 tab a
day per month and Thalidomide 12 tab in a
moth , now his doctor wants to increase
the dose to 1 tab of Thalidomide per day
accompanied by Dexamathosone instead of
Cyclophosphamide . I am concerned about
this decision plz help with your
suggestions.
