Multiple Myeloma 🩸🦴 is a type of blood cancer that forms in plasma cells within the bone marrow (the soft, spongy tissue inside your bones).

Normally, plasma cells produce antibodies to help fight infections. With multiple myeloma, these cells become cancerous, multiply uncontrollably, and crowd out healthy cells. Instead of making helpful antibodies, they produce abnormal proteins called M proteins, which the body cannot use.

Over time, excess M proteins can build up and potentially cause kidney damage. Multiple myeloma can also weaken bones, increasing the risk of fractures.

Kidney Cancer (renal cancer) develops when healthy cells change (mutate). They become cancerous cells that form tumors.

Your kidneys filter your blood 🩸, balance fluids in your body 💧, and get rid of waste 🚽

Kidney cancer begins when cells in the kidney develop changes in their DNA. DNA controls how cells grow, divide, and die. In healthy cells, this process is carefully regulated. But when DNA changes occur, cells can grow and multiply too quickly and may not die when they should. Over time, this buildup of abnormal cells can form a tumor.

Kidney cancer can show signs like:
- Blood in your urine,
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Loss of appetite
- Lumps
- Side or back pain
- Unexplained weight loss.

Taking care of your health is important. Getting your annual wellness checkup is a great way to discuss any concerns and stay on top of your well-being. Early detection can save lives, so don’t hesitate to talk to your doctor if you notice anything unusual. 🧡
