Myeloma Awareness Month Declared By Health Minister - March 17, 2022 - Micah Quinn

Health Minister Jason Copping recently declared March as Myeloma Awareness Month. According to the Canadian Cancer Society as of last year, 3800 Canadians will be diagnosed with multiple myeloma and 1600 Canadians will die from the disease. Myeloma can form when there is a buildup of many abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow. This makes it hard for blood cells in the bone marrow to work normally and develop. Brian Treadwell, the Support Group Leader from the Lethbridge Myeloma Support Network, was diagnosed with myeloma and he says the first question he asked himself was how long he has to live.
