Myeloma
Myeloma is a rare blood cancer that begins in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell normally responsible for producing antibodies that help fight off infectious pathogens and other threats.
While myeloma treatment can drive the disease into remission, sometimes for long periods of time, the cancer will often come back after a few months or years, and additional treatments will be needed.
