Hi, my name is Jeremiah. I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) in October 2025 after suffering from the most unusual and excruciating pain and physical limitations that I certainly couldn't understand. After going back and forth to doctors, being misdiagnosed and mistreated, I finally forced the proper attention and testing that led to my diagnosis.
I am currently following the ISA-RVd chemotherapy treatment:
Isa - Isatuximab (Sarclisa®)
R - Revlimid® (Lenalidomide)
V - Velcade® (Bortezomib)
d - Dexamethasone (Decadron®)
I am grateful that it has been working, and I am now preparing for a stem cell transplant. This will require me to quarantine even further and continues to exacerbate my inability to go out and earn funds to support my household without continued stress.
Waking up daily, you never know how you will feel or how you will be physically limited in doing even the basics. These challenges come not just from the cancer but also from the side effects of the treatment. I intend on continuing this fight and winning against this vicious blood cancer using my faith and my family.
Jeremiah
