Why Myeloma UK?

After a brave battle with Multiple Myeloma, Helen and Murray's brother, Les, passed away last year. Les had an aggressive strain of Myeloma that did not react to treatment. Denise, Bryan's wife (Darren, Stacey, and Daisy's Mum) has been battling Myeloma for 3 years and continues to receive intense treatments to help control the cancer and relieve symptoms. Myeloma is treatable, however, Myeloma is incurable and is known as a 'relapsing-remitting' cancer. This means there are times when it causes no symptoms and periods when it does and needs treatment.

More About Myeloma UK

Myeloma, also known as multiple myeloma, is a blood cancer arising from plasma cells. At any one time there are around 24,000 people living with myeloma in the UK. It accounts for 15 percent of blood cancers and two percent of all cancers. Myeloma mainly affects those over the age of 65, however, it has been diagnosed in people much younger.

Myeloma develops when DNA is damaged during the development of a plasma cell. This abnormal cell then starts to multiply and spread within the bone marrow. The abnormal plasma cells release a large amount of a single type of antibody – known as paraprotein – which has no useful function.

Unlike many cancers, myeloma does not exist as a lump or tumour. Most of the medical problems related to myeloma are caused by the build-up of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow and the presence of the paraprotein in the body.

Myeloma affects multiple places in the body, which is why it is referred to sometimes as ‘multiple’ myeloma. Myeloma affects where bone marrow is normally active in an adult, such as in the bones of the spine, skull, pelvis, the rib cage, long bones of the arms and legs and the areas around the shoulders and hips.
