No, multiple myeloma (MM), including IgG and IgA types, is not contagious. It is a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow and cannot be spread from person to person.

Hi Judith, it's a good thing that it's not contagious as my family would be effected. It seems to be environmental and in my case as a fireman I was subjected to a lot of questionable smoke and solvents.
