Second Cancers and Myeloma: Understanding the Connection Read Article...

Unfortunately, having one cancer doesn't mean we can't get a second one. Some treatments can increase our risk of other cancers. Thankfully, while myeloma isn't usually curable, it is extremely treatable. You beat breast cancer. You can beat myeloma too. 💕🥰

Had my yearly mammogram today. I honestly think it was worse than the bone marrow biopsy I had Monday🥴😉

Donna,
I told my doctor “No more mammograms!” I will only do ultrasounds. I don’t need the scarring.
