Hi. My husband is a myeloma patient, diagnosed in July 2000. He had a year of heavy chemo (his doctor at the time thought he would not be eligible for a stem cell transplant because he had kidney failure due to the myeloma. However, he went to UAMS and they did a tandem transplant in 2003. |

Re: myeloma and mds
A recent study at Moffit in Tampa has good hope for your husband. Dr. List is leading a study with a drug called rivlamid. or sounds like it. I have been diagnosed with myelofibrosis, a relative to your husbands disease and right now I am not being treated but being watched. I suggest making some contact to Moffit. It is a test/clinical trial, but maybe there is some way he can get on it. The results so far have been stunning. Good Luck and God Bless.
