Joi Reidel Green Dixon hasn't added a story.
My big sister Cassandra Reidel was recently diagnosed with stage 3 Multiple Myeloma Cancer. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy and has been prescribed many different medications in order to help keep her comfortable and help her to attempt to manage the disease. Cassi’s family and friends are asking you to join them to help support Cassi at this very difficult time. We are asking for your help with medical and Internment expenses.
WHAT IS MULTIPLE MYELOMA?
Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells in the blood. Plasma cells are white blood cells that make antibodies, which help the immune system recognize and fight infections. Plasma cells collect in the bone marrow-the soft spongy inner core of the bones. They then travel into the bloodstream, where they circulate throughout the body. In multiple Myeloma, cells that give rise to the plasma cells are damaged, and produce genetically damaged (malignant) plasma cells called multiple myeloma cells. Myeloma cells collect in the bone marrow and continue to divide uncontrollably. Myeloma is also called “multiple myeloma” because it typically affects multiple sites within the bone.
Myeloma is generally thought to be incurable but highly treatable. With conventional treatment median survival is 3-4 years which may be extended to 5-7 years or longer with advanced treatments. Multiple Myeloma is the second most common hematological malignancy in the U.S. (after Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma). Bone pain affects almost 70% of all patients, and is the most common symptom. Myeloma pain usually involves the spine and ribs and worsens with activity.
