Multiple Myeloma
"I had 2 blood clots as a result of a hairline fracture in my ankle.  Consequently, I was given Coumadin April 14.  I started Revlimid May 7.  May 25 I had a new blood clot even though my INR was 3.7 - in range to prevent clotting.  I was hospitalized and missed a Memorial Day party.   The doctors were baffled and thought the Coumadin was not effective.   I disagreed, stopped Revlimid immediately and stayed on Coumadin.  I flew to and from Italy this month with no blood clotting...the food was fabulous although I miss some eating great salads.  (Kidney issues prevent the other blood thinning remedies)"
