Today I got test results for my other cancer. It turns out the news on the multiple myeloma front isn't especially good or bad:
After shooting up from zero to 0.31 last month, my M-protein level increased to 0.38 this month. Going up is obviously bad, but at least it slowed down a lot.
I'll probably be heading back to City of Hope again in a month or two for yet another multiple myeloma treatment. The most likely candidate is a new drug called a bispecific, which is sort of like CAR-T except that it attacks two antigens, not just one, and it requires no genetic engineering. It has a moderate success rate.
This is maybe going to sound silly, but you are an inspiration to me and certainly others also in confronting and dealing with our problems...they are certainly not equal to yours, but they are life problems and real to us...
But you teach us how to handle crushing issues....I am sorry to phrase this that way, but your difficulties are really substantial....but your answer is just to live well, to live fully, and I find this to admirable and I hope I can be as good as you. Best Wishes, Traveller
Well said. I feel the same way.
I’m currently generating over $35,100 a month thanks to one small internet job, therefore I really like your work! I am aware that with a beginning cdx05 capital of $28,800, you are cdx02 presently making a sizeable quantity of money online....

I've been diagnosed with smoldering MM and I'm taking part in a trial for teclistamab. Just wondering if that is an option for you or not.
Sorry, Kevin. I was really hoping the Car-T would have finished it off.
Been following this blog since I had 16MB of RAM, and now I have 64GB.
I thank you for your oversharing since your initial cancer diagnosis 10 years ago. In that time, I have gotten cancer (rectal), and two coworkers have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. They wondered how I already knew so much about its treatment.
The advances in treating MM seem to be in danger of outpacing its ability to progress in individuals. Fingers crossed.
You have been a model of cool-headed living for a decade. Your posts have become crabbier on some topics, but that could be the normal aging process. I did not freak out during my own treatment, and I suspect your health updates were a factor, with their message that medical treatment is no reason to stop going about your life.
Good luck Kevin!
Life is just one damned thing after another.
Hang tough Kevin.!!!!
Thanks for keeping us informed and for still posting! We’re all rooting for you.
"Bispecific" sounds like a person sexually attracted to exactly one male and one female.
Also, best wishes to KD.
