The children who were born handicapped due to Thalidomide are middle aged now. They're still being effected and will as long as they live.

Yes. We use it as a cancer treatment in the hospital where I work. The pts get the tablets from a drug company and we administer them daily.
We use it for lymphoma not pain when other treatments have failed.

Yes, it is prescribed to treat multiple myeloma, and is apparently very effective.
