Melissa in the Morning: Myeloma Action Month

It’s a type of cancer that isn’t commonly known, but impacts tens of thousands of people per year in the US. What is myeloma, how can we detect it early, is it curable or reversible, are there treatments available? We asked all of this to Yale Dr. Natalia Neparidze, who has worked with myeloma patients in our state for the past 17 years. She also highlighted the importance of blood tests, not just yearly check-ups.
