The Bedside is a write up that gives you a real time experience about an endurance and glimpse and ogling over medical up fronts from a patients view who suffers from this very Cancer......
Its cemented and its petrified in my memories when i learnt that mom was suffering from multiple myeloma.. a decease that not many people suffer....!! specially Asians ....!!.its a profound jab and is often found in African and American communities...
For a few words for the decease...i regret to introduce this very decease which doctors say is a cancer with treatment but which also cannot be cured... Yes thats why i said "i regret to introduce"....
When i learnt about this cancer or MM(multiple myeloma) i was kinda okay, with the name but was also unknown what exactly it means....!! however it means multiple malignancy..caused because of bone marrow dysfunction or A BONE MARROW CANCER...
At the start of the stint i was unaware of medical aspects of human body.. but one factor that started me to know more about the decease was the way it comes into you and still you dont have any damn idea about it.. a backyard junk steal-er.
Multiple myeloma, also known as myeloma, is a hematologic cancer, or cancer of the blood. It is the second most common blood cancer, after non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and represents approximately 1% of all cancers in white individuals and 2% of all cancers in black individuals.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 21,700 new cases of multiple myeloma will be diagnosed in 2012. The number of cases of myeloma reported at a particular time (the prevalence) varies according to gender, age, and race/ethnicity. Multiple myeloma is more common among men than women and occurs more frequently with increasing age.
As with any cancer diagnosis, hearing that you have myeloma can be overwhelming. But new treatments continue to be evaluated in research studies, and substantial improvements in treatment have been made over the past few years. Multiple myeloma cannot be cured, but it can be treated, allowing many individuals to live longer, healthier lives with the disease.
