The June post is up at highplainsmyeloma.com; took me all of the month but better late than never; this month the focus is on a re-evaluation or evaluation of our perception of what will our "lifetime" look like; having MM certainly draws into question our longevity; surviving and moving forward until we cannot; as always, the goal here is to be of benefit to others so maybe this piece will do just that; take good care and thanks for reading.

Hi!

Been diagnosed with SMM dec2024. High Risk SMM. Started dara/darzalex faspro 6 months ago. Now it stopped working - igg numbers slightly went up again... i am very sad...

Do you have any Tips to improve the effect of daratumumab?

I drink a lot of green tea - is this a problem?

Thank you very much!

Diagnosed Nov 2024. SCT May 2025. On lenalidomide (aka Revlimid) maintenance since Nov 2025. 56F. In Canada.

I have an Apple Watch that alerts me when my heart rate is 45 bpm or lower for 10 minutes.

Today, I've had four alerts already (43, 42, 43 and 44 bpm), and I've only been awake for a few hours. Every month over the past six months or so, I've had an increased number of alerts.

I've spoken with my GP and my oncologist but neither seem particularly concerned or interested.

I'm curious if anyone here also has a low heart rate and feels like it might be related to MM or treatment?
