March is Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month

Multiple Myeloma is a type of blood cancer, different and more rare than lymphoma and leukemia. Myeloma results in low levels of normal white blood cells and frequent infections. The average American adult has a 0.7% lifetime risk of getting the disease. The risk increases as you age, with the average age at diagnosis of 70 years. People with early myeloma may not develop symptoms or need treatment for several years.
