Multiple Myeloma
Hello Sir,
This is regarding my Father health condition.
Cancer Name - Multiple Myeloma
Diagnosed on - July 2018
Lambda Serum Free Light chain was - 2030 (Normal range is 5-26)
After 44 (Bortezomib) chemotherapy/Week and oral pills - Lenalidomide 25mg. Doctor asked us to stop Bortezomib and only go with Lenalidomide. After so many test and medicines the Lambda serum chain went down in Feb 2021 test it was 258 but in July 2021 test we see sudden spike of Lambda serum chain and it was 1290 😞. Doctor said he needs some change of treatment so he started Pomalidomide 4mg instead of lenalidomide and after 3 months go for test if lambda chain went down then its good, if not we will start chemo again.
Currently He is not feeling good - Very Low energy level, Pain in Multiple places like Lower Back, Hips, Chest etc and I guess some stomach issue ( Stomach Upset).
Not able to sit properly because of bone pain n all.
Please please please please please suggest 🙏 what to do in this case?

Basically symptoms are suggestive of relapsed multiple myeloma. Hope all the tests of myeloma was done along with light chain assay, SPEP, immunofixation, bone marrow Aspiration and biopsy and bone scan/PET scan. Based on the extent of the disease and patient fitness we need to decide whether to give three drug combinations or only two drugs will suffice. If you can come down to Nagpur with patient and all the reports , we can discuss
