I've recently started Sarclisa 100mg/5ml Inj, 5ml as part of my treatment for multiple myeloma. I'm curious how others are handling side effects? Are there any medications or natural remedies that have helped manage them? What's been your experience treating multiple myeloma?

Recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma and starting Sarclisa infusions? I just had my first round and want to share some tips and info on the side effects I experienced, I would love to hear from others too! Sarclisa targets the CD38 protein on cancer cells, essentially helping your immune system zero in on and destroy these cancerous plasma cells. My oncologist recommended it and explained that it's given as an infusion. I’ve heard the infusion reactions can be a bit rough, but the nurses at the clinic were amazing and had everything under control. For those who have been through it, I’m curious to know what you did to manage the side effects. And if anyone has advice on handling the infusion reactions, that would be super helpful too. The serious side effects list is pretty scary, but my doc assured me that while they can happen, they’re rare. I already had my prescription for Sarclisa 500mg/25ml, so I’m hoping to manage the side effects and avoid the serious symptoms.
