DAILY NANCY UPDATE #73

Greetings. 

This is the seventy-third in a series of DAILY NANCY UPDATES I will be posting until the amazing Nancy Neufeld Callaway is in full remission and we have kicked her leukemia on its ass.

BREAKING NEWS

So we now officially know what was causing the mystery fevers that have forced a delay in Nancy's bone marrow transplant.

PNEUMONIA.

Pneumocystis jirovici pneumonia, to be exact.

It's a lung infection that often strikes people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy and/or using medications that suppress the immune system. And fortunately, one of the infectious disease specialists at City of Hope was able to spot some very light telltale shading in Nancy's lung tissue while it was still early. So she is now being treated with the same steroids she was already receiving to eliminate inflammation and fever-- along with a strong course of antibiotics-- and her doctors expect a full recovery.

And that's very important, because as previously mentioned, the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess has to be in tip top shape before she storms Marrowtown and leaves leukemia in her wake.

So as of now-- assuming the drugs do everything they're supposed to do and she's completely pneumonia and fever free-- she is scheduled to be re-admitted to COH and begin that six week odyssey on May 27th.

To that end, your continuing prayers and good vibes are humbly and thankfully encouraged.

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!
