I have had several forms of treatment, but the only time I suffered weight loss was when I underwent chemo. Are you responding to the revlamid? What does your onc say about your weight loss. My onc told me to avoid strenuous exercises, so I just walk on tracks or on the treadmill. But this is something you should discuss with your onc. He/she may have some suggestions. Good luck!<br /> Leann</p> Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:03:43 -0400 leann52 comment 673057 at http://csn.cancer.org http://csn.cancer.org/node/169644 <p>I was diagnosed with MM last October 2008. I'm 57 years old, and just finishing my third course of Revlimid. My appetite is good, but I've lost a total of 14 lbs since my diagnosis. </p> <p>I don't understand how the calories are being burned so quickly with a normal to larger caloric diet. I am working out using the cross trainer at the gym, and my body looks and feels like I've been starved for months. I can't hold any kind of muscle mass. </p> <p>Has anyone else had a similar problem, and does anyone have suggestions for maintaining or adding weight?</p> <p>thanks so much for any suggestions.</p> <p>pamacp</p> <p><a href="http://csn.cancer.org/node/169644">read more</a></p> http://csn.cancer.org/node/169644#comment Multiple Myeloma Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:06:10 -0400 pamacphil 169644 at http://csn.cancer.org
