ICD-Code C90.01: Multiple myeloma In complete remission
The symptoms of your immune cell disease have decreased. This disease is also called multiple myeloma or plasmacytoma.
The tissue in the body is made up of cells. With cancer, the cells multiply uncontrollably, which leads to a malignant neoplasm (abnormal growth of tissue) developing. The cancer cells can destroy the healthy tissue and spread throughout the body.
With cancer of the immune cells, a certain type of immune cell begins to multiply uncontrollably. These diseased immune cells produce too much of one type of antibody. These antibodies do not work. In your case, the diseased immune cells have accumulated in the bone marrow. The blood cells are formed in the bone marrow. If there are a great many diseased immune cells in the bone marrow, then sometimes too few healthy blood cells can be formed.
Not every cancer is the same. There are cancers that develop quickly. You may then quickly feel seriously ill. But there are also cancers that progress slowly. You may then feel generally unwell or weak, or even have no symptoms at all to start with.This disease can damage various organs. The kidneys especially can be damaged by the many immune cells. Often the cancer also damages the cranial bone, the ribs or the bones of the spine.
There are no longer any diseased immune cells visible in your bone marrow or your blood.
