Multiple myeloma, yaar, it's a cancer of the plasma cells. These are a type of white blood cell in your bone marrow. So actually, it's a blood cancer. Pretty serious stuff, heard it can affect bones too.

Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer. My doctor always stresses on regular checkups, especially after a certain age, to catch things early. Lifestyle changes also help generally, but for something like this, medical intervention is key.

It's a cancer of the plasma cells, in the bone marrow. If someone is diagnosed, the investigations and treatment can be quite expensive. Planning finances and checking insurance coverage becomes very important for the family.

My doctor explained that multiple myeloma is a malignancy of plasma cells in the bone marrow. These plasma cells are supposed to fight infections but in myeloma, they grow abnormally, crowding out healthy blood cells and causing issues like bone pain. It's a blood cancer.
