Les, my grandfather had multiple myeloma. It affects the way your body deals with proteins.The protein clump up and clog organs. The kidneys are usually the first affected. There is a new medication called Velcade that is promising. MM is on the rise, and younger people are getting it. I'm from Nebraska and i know a dr. from Omaha moved to Nebraska because he said we had the highest MM rate.
