It is hard to believe that a month has passed and it is time to check on the cancer again. My labs returned today and once again, my major cancer markers are normal. This is not a cure, but a sign that the chemo is working very well. My labs also showed a jump in…

If you are religious and satisfied with your dogmas, then this is not the pod cast for you. But if you are religious, especially if you are a white evangelical, but feel conflicted between what your religion is telling you Vs what science is, then you should listen. I had to divide these pod casts…

I put out my new novel’s first chapter in a MP3 format. This was done using a particular AI program. I’ve heard the comments and it (the program) has not lived up to my expectations. It’s good, but not quite human-like. I will leave it out there as a teaser for the book for now.…

I am wrapping this topic up by move into the more practical aspects of the new war on reason and science by some religious groups in the twenty-first century. You can listen here. I will mention that it cuts off at the end because I went over my time, but you didn’t miss anything. I…

I hope this will be my last health update for a while, but I left things a little on the negative side. My local doctor reduced my nasty chemo by a third a week ago. I’m already starting to feel some better. I can function for the early part of the day before the cloud…

In summary, I restarted my nasty chemo today with no definite end in sight. While discouraging, I have some hope because we reduced the dose (the oncologist did with reluctance) by 1/3. Rather than taking it 3 weeks out of the month, I will be taking it two weeks (off every other week). I will…

I will get back to my series on science and religion, but a simple question I raise here, what if we are wrong that life must have a grand purpose? What if Rick Warren (author of “The Purpose Drive Life”) was completely wrong? You can listen here. Please understand, this is part of series of…

My labs came in just a few minutes ago. I didn’t want to waste time as my kids and family find out about my cancer here. In summary, my Lambda light chains (that is the type of cancer I have) came back as normal (22.4 mg/L, normal is 5.7-26.3 mg/L). I was elated last time…

Tomorrow is another landmark day. My cancer labs will be drawn with results by next Monday. On my last labs, four weeks ago, the numbers came in stunning, very close to no evidence of cancer (Multiple Myeloma is never cured with chemo but can go into hiding). I was elated. I was also four weeks…
