Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects your plasma cells. These are white blood cells found in your bone marrow. They help your body fight infections by making antibodies. When someone has multiple myeloma, their plasma cells grow out of control. This can hurt the bones and stop the body from making healthy blood cells.
Doctors don’t know exactly what causes multiple myeloma. But they have found some things that may raise the chance of getting it. Risk factors may include:
Having one or more of these risk factors doesn’t mean you will get multiple myeloma, but it’s helpful to know if you're at higher risk.
Doctors use different tests to find out if someone has multiple myeloma.
If you have symptoms like bone pain, tiredness, or infections that keep coming back, talk to your doctor. Finding multiple myeloma early can help you get better care.
While multiple myeloma can’t be cured yet, doctors often use a mix of medicines, like chemotherapy and special drugs that help the immune system fight the cancer. Some people may also get a stem cell transplant, which gives them healthy cells to replace the damaged ones.
There are also new medicines being tested in clinical trials that could help. These treatments can help stop the cancer from growing and give people more time without symptoms.
Living with multiple myeloma can be hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. Many people live full lives with this disease. Staying active, eating well, and keeping in touch with loved ones can help you feel better.
You may have times when the disease is under control, and other times when treatment is needed again. This is normal. Support groups, nurses, doctors, and friends can all be there to help.
Scientists are working every day to learn more about multiple myeloma. Clinical research is exploring new medicines that might improve health outcomes.
Your experience with multiple myeloma is valuable. Take the next step in supporting multiple myeloma research.
