My aunt has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, I have never heard of that, what is it?

Multiple Myeloma is a disease of the bone marrow and is a form of blood cancer in a particular cell line called a plasma cell.  Multiple Myeloma causes these cells to be produced out of control.  While it is not a curable disease, it does have good treatment to decrease the bone destruction, which is one of the problems with this form of blood cancer.
