Ralph has chemo on Mondays and Thursdays for 2 weeks. Each day that he has IV chemo (Velcade) and the day after, he also takes 40 mg of Decadron, a steroid. Beginning on the first day of chemo and for 21 days, he takes 200mg of Thalidomide. Another round begins after 2 weeks off. We heard 4 to 5 rounds before stem-cell replacement.
Ralph has experienced anxiousness, tingling in his face and fingers, and tiredness, but he has had no nausea, diarrhea, or constipation, which are other possibilities. Hair loss is not a side effect of this particular treatment.
