Posted by Accuspire on Apr 28th 2023
Ocular Multiple Myeloma is fast-growing cancer found in the white blood cell or the plasma cell. These cells make antibodies to protect us from various infections.

The first stage of Ocular Myeloma is smoldering multiple myeloma, where there are no symptoms. Though the test results reveal that the cancerous plasma cells occupy 10 to 50% of your bone marrow. In your urine and blood, anomalous antibodies are found due to the build-up of myeloma cells around the eyes.
