What Causes Diarrhea While On Daratumumab?

My wife has Myeloma. She is being treated with Daratmumab, pomalidide aand dex. She has been on this for approx 1 year with no severe side effects. Her treatment was on Wed. She developed diarhea and stomach cramps on Thurs. I have kept her hydrated with electolyte water, chicken broth. Day 4 shows no improvement. I will call her oncologist tomorrow but I think she may need to be hospitalized. Your thoughts please

Hello dear. Persistent diarrhoea durimg myeloma therapy needs to be cured. It may be related to infections and will require antibiotics support. Hospitalisation is necessary.
