Lauren Laverne Diagnosed With Blood Disorder

Radio and TV presenter Lauren Laverne announced this week that she has been diagnosed with smouldering myeloma, a blood and bone marrow disorder. This diagnosis comes less than two years after Laverne announced her recovery from cancer in August 2024. She received the all-clear from her cancer treatment three months later. Laverne stated her decision to make the diagnosis public stems from a desire to help others who may be experiencing similar health challenges. Smouldering myeloma is characterized by an abnormal level of blood plasma cells within the bone marrow. The presenter, known for her work on BBC Radio 6 Music and television programs, shared this personal health update following her previous battle with cancer.
