disneydad,
The doctors who run studies are extremely attentive to their patients so your Mom is no doubt getting excellent care.
Diarrhea is a normal side effect of Revlimid.
It's ironic that counts are likely to drop before they get better with Revlimid. Since it's an immunosuppressant her hemoglobin drop may not surprise her doctors.
Changes in kidney function require a talk with the doctors because renal issues have the potential to be serious and yes they can be caused by Revlimid. However, in some cases this may require only a dosage adjustment.
Therefore, your Mom won't necessarily have to go off Revlimid, but the doctors should certainly discuss all of these symptoms with you and whether their strategy will change. Good luck.
