WHEREAS, multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer
worldwide and can occur at multiple sites in one's body with a variety of symptoms, thus
making it hard to diagnose, and

when it goes undetected, it can cause broken bones, ongoing pain, renal failure, and
death, and
WHEREAS, the disease is generally thought to be incurable but highly treatable,
and remissions may be induced with various treatments, and
WHEREAS, the many treatment options for myeloma include chemotherapy,
radiation, stem cell transplantation and many new and novel emerging therapies, and
WHEREAS, increased awareness for clinicians and the general public
accompanied by continued investment and innovation will lead to earlier diagnosis
allowing people to live longer.
