Retired doctors pushing for Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month
Ontario isn’t one of them and Gordon Milne would like to see that change.A bone-marrow transplant sent him into remission, monthly chemotherapy sessions also helping keep the disease at bay.
Symptoms aren’t easy to detect. Some advanced blood work led to his diagnosis in 2012, but had that not taken place, there’s a good chance Milne wouldn’t be around now to tell his story. “This number has been steadily rising for over 15 years. According to a recent Statistics Canada report, the incidence of myeloma is now increasing at a higher rate than any other type of cancer for males, and at the second highest rate for females,” Milne said.
Milne said the more people are aware of multiple myeloma and its symptoms, the more likely they might realize something could be seriously wrong, and not just brush it off as aches and pains.
