Thalidomide

Hi

I'm in the UK. I know someone - a lady in her 70s who is on Thalidomide. She has myeloma (I think it is a blood/bone cancer). She has been on chemotherapy - tablet form - at home and has been taking Thalidomide along side it. She said that the Thalidomide made her a little sleepy but she was quite excited to be on it. Her consultant strongly advised her to take it and told her that they had had a lot of success with it - I'm not sure what kind of success he was referring to though.

Sorry, I am not a lot of help - but my understanding from the person I know taking it is that it is beneficial - just not sure in what way!

All the best
