Plasma cells are a type of blood cell made in the bone marrow which are responsible for making antibodies that help protect us from infection. MULTIPLE MYELOMA is the 2nd most common blood cancer, although it is not well known to the general public. Approximately 60,000 people in the United States have MULTIPLE MYELOMA and more than 20,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Worldwide, more than 210,000 people are living with MULTIPLE MYELOMA and approximately 100,000 new cases are diagnosed annually. For new patients, as well as those living with the disease for years, myeloma is life changing. The symptoms are real and ongoing: Bone pain, extreme fatigue, nausea, numbness in the hands and/or feet, kidney problems and infections. Infections can be life threatening. Awareness is key for a rare disease. Awareness for Multiple Myeloma matters.
