    Comment from: cthayne, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Caregiver)

    The velcade has worked well to respond to the blood disorder, but the side effects are becoming increasingly hard to handle. The pain from neuropothy in the feet, ankles and legs is excruciating, and are worse in the evening after dinner than any other time. The level of pain makes healing very difficult.

    The pain from neuropothy in the feet, ankles and legs is excruciating. It is so bad that I can not be on my feet for more that 2 min at a time. The worse part is, the pain just doesn't go away. Published: May 19, 2009 ::

    Comment from: rosetta, 75 or over Female on Treatment for 1-2 years (Patient)

    Was on Velcade for approx. one year. Tolerated ok except for constipation. Stopped after yr., was told it was no longer working. Next put on Thalidomid which I could not tolerate (had also tried Doxil which caused very bad side effects). Now told there is no other drug to treat my condition. Anyone with similar experience please write. I am a 78-yr-old female. email marge0225@hotmail.com Published: March 08, 2009 ::
