What is myeloma? Multiple Myeloma is a complex and often misdiagnosed cancer of the bone marrow that affects plasma cells, which comprise the immune system and bone. The cause is unknown. In the USA there are over 2,041 new cases of myeloma diagnosed every month! Yearly in Maricopa 301 are diagnosed and 191 die from myeloma. Thankfully an estimated 83,367 people are living with myeloma. There is no cure, but Myeloma is treatable and patients may experience complete remission. With the new research, earlier intervention, and new medications, lives are being saved and the quality of life is improving.
