Health Update

My M-protein level spiked upward a bit to 0.57 in my latest test, and normally this would be worrisome. However, I've been off the chemo meds for the past three weeks so I don't think this is surprising. I've started them back up now, and I expect to see a drop next month.

I feel helpless that this is something I can't contribute towards making better. I hope you'll be around for a very long time, KD.

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
