Starting oral chemotherapy can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with the unknowns of treatment ahead. Many people in this community have found it helpful to prepare questions for their new medical team about what to expect and to connect with others here who have experience with similar treatments. Wishing you strength as you begin this new chapter with your care team.

I’m so glad you don’t have to do infusion. I’ve been dealing with multiple myeloma for 14 yrs had a bone marrow transplant and stem cell that only lasted for 7 months I also get the infection because I was no longer responding to the original Chemo and this is a more aggressive form so far so good. I’m gonna keep prayers going up for you that you going to remission soon. Take care….
