That’s too bad.

He was one of my favorite blog writers back in the day.

A little better tonight. Kevin has been one of the most influential and wide ranging members of the blogging community for many years. He has been very straightforward and transparent with the community over his condition and the various experimental treatments he has done. Hoping he pulls through one more time.

Living 11 years with multiple myeloma is quite remarkable, the average life expectancy is 6-7 years.

Here’s another great guy and reporter-with-a-heart who battled it out with myeloma for 13 years after diagnosis.

Medical science is doing better with myeloma these days. It still sucks.
