Today I’ve been very itchy 😕 … I just can’t stop scratching …. … it was really irritating, until I found this! https://ashpublications.org/blood/article/128/22/4532/101393/Multiple-Myeloma-Patients-with-Lenalidomide “Multiple Myeloma Patients with Lenalidomide-Associated Skin Rash Have a Favourable Prognosis” Now, I’m happy to scratch 😊🤣 Happy Days! 😊
