Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer where the plasma cells, in the bone marrow multiplies uncontrollably. The cells may cause damage to the bone, causing bone pain. As a result, myeloma may also cause anemia, damage to the organs in the body, problems with bruising/bleeding and infections.

When one is diagnosed with Multiple myeloma, it instantly creates a fear of death. However, although it is considered to be incurable - it is treatable. During the last few years, more treatments have become available that helps to prolong the lives of those diagnosed with the disease to live longer, healthier lives.

While each journey is unique, we all share a common theme cancer changes our lives forever.

The Day That Changed My Life - How I Found Out.... Part II

To be diagnosed with an aggressive stomach cancer at Stage 4 or to learn that you have a rare form of cancer known as leiomyomas sarcoma has to be overwhelming. Although being diagnosed with breast cancer is still a personally overwhelming shocking life altering experience, there is an incredible fear of the unknown outcomes of rare diagnoses.

However, we have found these journeys of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance that may bring some hope to others who are facing a rare form of cancer.
