Did you know that myeloma is the most common blood cancer in people of African descent? But doctors do not typically check people for myeloma during a regular visit because currently there are no national screening recommendations for myeloma.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to learn the early symptoms of myeloma and let your doctor know that you\u2014or a friend or family member\u2014are at added risk for the disease.<\/p>\n

Because even though myeloma affects African Americans at greater rates, with early diagnosis and treatment, African Americans can have better overall survival in living with the disease.<\/p>\n
