When I starting on Darazlex,  I was having problems such as allergic reactions,  coughing and finding it hard to breathe, resulting in me being hospitalised ever week, day before and after, and it being given very slowly, over 10 hrs to begin. Gradually this came down to 4 hrs with no problems. Initially I had a great response and my protein came down to 2. It had never been this low even after my stem cell transplant.  In my case the Darazlex effect was very short lived, despite weekly velcade and cyclosphamide being added. My disease was in a very advanced stage when I started this drug, and despite my initial problems with it, I believe it has given me two more years to be with my family.   So if you are offered this drug, take it with both hands as you have nothing to loose.   Stay strong.
