Myeloma

Myeloma, or multiple myeloma, is a blood cancer. As its symptoms include debilitating pain caused by bone damage, it is often referred to as bone marrow cancer.

Around 3,750 people are diagnosed with myeloma in the UK every year.

Myeloma is a cancer of later life and is very rare in people under 40. Most people who have myeloma are 65 years or older.
