The problem is that MDS is not bone cancer but a cancer that affects the bone marrow - - - leaving out MDS because it is a "bone cancer" means they bloody well need to leave out MM which is a presumptive disease!
Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell. Plasma cells produce antibodies to help fight infection and disease. In multiple myeloma, cancerous plasma cells (myeloma cells) are found in the bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside bones that manufactures blood cells. When myeloma cells accumulate in the bones, they can crowd out normal cells and invade bone tissue, damaging and weakening bones.
