(BPT) - When Paula Van Riper felt a slight but annoying ache in her thigh 13 years ago, she was prompted to visit her doctor. No one expected to find a large mass of abnormal plasma cells in her femur, caused by multiple myeloma – a rare form of blood cancer that can lead to the formation of tumors in the bone marrow. Affecting more than 71,000 Americans, multiple myeloma ranks as the second most prevalent blood cancer after non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.1 According to the American Cancer Society, 21,700 additional cases were diagnosed in the U.S. last year.2
Van Riper immediately underwent hip replacement surgery. When she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, she researched the disease and found it was associated with a two to three year survival rate.
