Blood Cancer Awareness Fact A Day: Day 12

Increase your blood cancer awareness, one fact at a time.

Editor's note: 
In August Manassas City Council voted in favor of a proclamation declaring September Blood Cancer Awareness Month. 
Each day this month we will publish facts about blood cancer. 

The facts were compiled and provided by Manassas resident Rich Zavadowski, a blood cancer survivor who was instrumental in getting local lawmakers to consider the proclamation.  

The estimated deaths from blood cancers in 2013 is 1,340.
