TUESDAY REPORT

The Holidays were pretty delicious this year. 


Not only did we have a heartfelt Hannukah celebration with our family, but after spoiling me with a Christmas Eve surprise birthday celebration that lasted from sun-up to sundown (which was no small feat for her to plan and orchestrate), I took Nancy and the kids out for dim sum in Chinatown on Christmas Day, followed by an afternoon screening of STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI. In other words, we were the perfect Jews.

But the real reason I say the Holidays were delicious-- is because this time last year, we had just arrived in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico-- and Nancy was already very sick. We just didn't know it, yet. And as we know now-- things went swiftly and sharply downhill for awhile.

So for her to be in full remission one year later was a bona fide Christmas miracle.

It's truly incredible to consider all that the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess has been through. All that she's overcome. And we are all so deeply proud of her.

As for me-- well, if I'm being honest (and lord knows I've tried to do that here), I've been a bit threadbare, emotionally speaking. I guess the past year of care taking has taken a bit of a toll. But the people who matter the most have been here for me like never before, and I'm deeply grateful for that.

Our amazing daughter is home from college. And of course, the boys are here with us as well. 

Nancy's memory slowly but surely continues to improve. And soon, 2017 and all that Nancy and the rest of us have been through, will be that distant mountain I've spoken about in previous posts-- slowly receding slipping back to the horizon.

So in the name of counting blessings and moving forward, I'm not sure there's much else I can really say right now except...

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!

SUNDAY REPORT

Every day, the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess is getting just a little bit better.  


Her hair is coming back. Her mind is sharpening. Her strength is on the rise. And her meds are gradually being decreased.

So in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I just wanted to take a moment and reach out to all of you to say how truly thankful we are to have had all of you with us throughout this incredibly challenging year. 

Yes, she's still got some ground to cover. 
And for the sake of personal sanity and financial security, I need to get my ass back to work.

But truthfully, we already have everything we need.

Healthy and happy kids. 
Loving parents, siblings, and extended family. 
Unbelievably supportive friends. 
And extraordinary doctors and nurses.

There's just no world where Nancy would be able to peacefully soak up the sun in our backyard and count on any real recovery without all of you in her corner.

So thank you for continuing to be there. And from the SSWG and me... HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!

WEDNESDAY REPORT

Sorry for the radio silence. But we've all been busy trying to get our feet back onto firm ground. 
Especially the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess.  


Fortunately, Nancy's after-care appointments are becoming fewer and further between. We're now only going back to City of Hope for follow-up tests every two weeks. Soon, that will scale back to once a month. Her numbers are all strong-- which has also resulted in her various anti-rejection medications being gradually lowered. Her eyes have been bugging her quite a bit-- constantly running at all hours of the day. But after repeated trips to multiple opthalmologists-- it thankfully doesn't seem to be caused by any kind of bone marrow transplant related infection. Rather, her symptoms are the typical side effects of heavy chemotherapy and radiation. The surface of her eyes have become dry-- which causes her tear ducts to overcompensate. So even though it seems counter-intuitive, Nancy has to keep adding drops to her eyes all day. It annoys the hell out of her-- and often makes her look sad when she isn't-- but we're hopeful that the situation will resolve itself sooner than later.

Nancy's also doggedly working to recover from her officially diagnosed anterograde (short term) and retrograde (long term) amnesia caused by the brain seizures she suffered in late June. Fortunately, all of the other high functioning areas of her brain-- IQ, verbal skills, creativity-- are still firing on all cylinders. But the patchy memory issues she's been struggling with are a constant source of frustration for her. 

Nevertheless, her doctors all remain supremely confident that none of the damage done was permanent or degenerative. It just requires time and patience.

In the meantime, she's starting to write again. Play the piano. Take control of her schedule. And she's exercising more and more, slowly but surely rebuilding muscle and regaining strength.

In short, the SSWG is working extremely hard to construct a new and improved version of herself. And all of us genuinely appreciate your good vibes, thoughts, and healing prayers in the process.

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!

FRIDAY REPORT

We've had two weeks off from going to City of Hope-- and her next routine appointment for blood work and a doctor's consult isn't until next Monday. So what have we been up to? Well, I've been working more and more (since in addition to sucking, cancer is also expensive) and I also took a quick trip out to visit our daughter at college in Maine for Parents Weekend. And while I was gone-- Nancy had all kinds of fun with her girlfriends. 


The Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess went to the Broad Museum in Los Angeles (as perfectly pictured above). She did some shopping. She went to movies and restaurants. And most of all, she got to enjoy herself in the company of people who love her very much.

One thing that's also made a big positive difference in our daily lives is an electronic medication dispenser that allows me to pre-load all of her many daily meds into a motorized disc which automatically dispenses pills at the right times, lighting up and sounding an alarm in the process. So between that, and setting alerts on her computer and phone-- she's gotten into a much more comfortable rhythm with her meds, which has made life much easier for both of us.

While she's slowly but surely improving, short term memory issues continue to frustrate Nancy. But one of her Monday appointments is with a psychoneurologist to get the results of an exhaustive cognitive assessment she was subjected to a couple of weeks ago. So hopefully those results will help us pinpoint some of the specific areas of her brain which are still being affected-- and then help us customize some ways to pursue appropriate methods of healing them.

I know the blogposts have been less and less frequent. But please know that's just reflective of us trying to regain our lives and find our footing while she continues to recover. And as always, know this...

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!

A VERY SPECIAL DAY



Today marks 100 DAYS since Nancy's bone marrow transplant on June 6th-- or her "new birthday" as they like to call it at City of Hope. The day she was empowered by the cells of an anonymous Israeli male with a genetic profile nearly identical to hers from the International Bone Marrow Donor Registry. And the day she rechristened herself...

NANCY NEWCELL CALLAWAY

We all know it hasn't exactly been an easy ride since then... but there's still one thing we can't lose sight of.

IT WORKED!

She has now officially gotten past the traditional 100 day window of recovery with no traces of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in her system after three complete BCR-ABL tests. 

So if you have a moment... please reach out to Nancy directly to congratulate her yourself. Email her, text her, call her, or leave a message on the blog page to tell her how incredibly proud we all are of how hard she has fought to not only beat cancer-- but also recover from a brain seizure.

She's still got some ground to cover. But so far, the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess has cleared every single hurdle that's been put in her way. I've simply never known a stronger woman in my life. 

And if the past 100 days have been any indication-- 100 days from now she'll be better than ever-- a new and improved version of someone who was unstoppable to begin with.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continuing and humbling kindness and support.  

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!

SATURDAY REPORT

This is a picture of my beloved childhood friend Thad Westhusing-- who today, swam two miles in the chilly open waters of Seattle as part of SWIM ACROSS AMERICA, a charity devoted to raising funds for cancer research and clinical trials. 

And look who he dedicated all of that exhausting effort to...


We love you, Thad. 

And you've given us the perfect opportunity to express our heartfelt love and appreciation to everyone else who has done so much for the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess and our entire family.

Honestly, there are too many of you to name. But you know who you are. And we will never forget you.

Because of your extraordinary kindness...

  • Multitudes of lives may be saved through The International Bone Marrow Donor Registry.
  • Congregations of all faiths across the country have included Nancy on their prayer lists.
  • Candles have been lit from St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City to Notre Dame in Paris.
  • Prayers have been hand carried and placed between the stones of the wailing wall in Jerusalem.
  • Healing talismans - stones, shells, crosses, crystals - have been sent from around the world.
  • Trees have been planted. And wishes have been tied to trees.
  • Prayer shawls have been painstakingly knitted.
  • Meditation recordings were specially made and daily played for Nancy.
  • Fuzzy socks, and warm blankets, t-shirts, and stuffed animals were sent by the dozens.  
  • Signs and banners and cards were received by the hundreds.
  • Dear friends have driven mile after mile, to spend day after day, and night after night with Nancy-- at three different hospitals and here in our home.
  • And almost every single night since January 4th... another unbelievably generous friend or family has fed us dinner through the Meal Train. Some of you, multiple times.

And all of that's only the half of it.

I mean, look... we all know I'm a sap... but I'm weeping all over again just writing this. 

Because it's not just humbling. Your outpouring of love for us has literally redefined love-- in the same way Nancy's strength has redefined what it means to be strong.

So thank you. All of you. Again, and again, and again.

She continues to improve, little by little, every single day.

Her outpatient clinic visits at City of Hope have now been reduced to only once a week. Two of her three anti-seizure meds have been eliminated, along with a few other meds related to her transplant. During our last visit, her immune system numbers were higher than ever. Her last EEG showed completely normal brain activity. And this Monday, Nancy's undergoing a detailed, four hour cognitive assessment in the hopes of pinpointing specific memory centers affected by the seizure-- so her doctors can gather more insight about how best to help get her amazing brain fully back to fighting form.

She has not been defeated. Neither have the rest of us. And thanks to all your incredible support-- we never will.

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!

THURSDAY REPORT

Yes, I know these blogposts have become less and less frequent. 
But in this particular case, no news is good news.


It's been 86 days since Nancy's bone marrow transplant and 66 days since the unexpected brain seizure she suffered as a major complication during her recovery.

Today, the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess took her twice weekly visit back to City of Hope for outpatient blood testing and a consultation with Dr. Forman. And here's the headlines:

1. Her third BCR-ABL blood test has once again revealed no traces of leukemia in her body.

2. And because the rest of her numbers are strong and her immune system seems to be rebuilding itself quite nicely... Dr. Forman has decided to reduce her outpatient clinic visits to only one a week. What's more, he doesn't want to see us again at all until September 11th-- at which point, she'll be only two days away from the 100 day post transplant mark.

3. Finally, since the latest results from last Monday's EEG brain scan show no signs of continuing mini-seizures and significant healing since the viral encephalitis and grand mal seizure she suffered in June... he is removing one more of the three anti-seizure meds she's been on. That means she's now only taking one-- which should also be dropped very soon.

When Nancy returns to COH on the 11th, she'll be undergoing some comprehensive cognitive testing so we can hopefully get a little more insight into her short term memory loss and intermittent confusion issues-- which, although vastly improved, have continued to plague her a bit.

Again, her entire team of physicians insist those issues are temporary and will eventually resolve themselves. So until then, we're all just doing the best we can to manage the daily frustrations that come along with them.

Many of you have sweetly begun to reach out to Nancy directly about scheduling visits. We appreciate your patience in that process-- setting dates can be a bit daunting when your memory doesn't always cooperate. But she's a little bit sharper every day-- and sooner or later, she'll share that mile-wide smile with each of you.

Meanwhile, please know that our entire family is continually touched by all the kindness and support you've offered us.

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!

FRIDAY REPORT

Hello friends.


I know it's been a few minutes since we posted. But we've been kinda busy trying to get Nancy back up and running. The good news is, she's made tremendous strides. Her immune system numbers are getting stronger and stronger-- and the most recent tests still show no signs of leukemia. 

The better news is (better than beating cancer?!) is that her mental clarity is slowly but surely improving as well. 

There are still some lapses in short term memory. And if you haven't been around the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess since she got home, here's basically what that means. You know those times when you go to the kitchen to get your keys-- only to arrive in the kitchen moments later and completely forget what you're looking for? That's kinda what Nancy is battling on and off every day. And when she gets tired-- she can also get a little confused about certain conversational details. But when I get tired, I lose my marbles a little, too. The bottom line is, the doctors have continued to assure us that these conditions are temporary. They can definitely be frustrating for her-- and a bit challenging for me and the kids. But sooner or later, we'll all get through it.

Meanwhile, she's been enjoying some great visits by a few of her close friends-- and our beloved family, as well. In fact, her dear old Dad has been paying his favorite girl routine visits every Sunday.


If you'd like to start calling, emailing, or texting Nancy yourself-- it's fine for you to do that now. Just be patient and understand it may take her some time to respond. And please be careful about trying to schedule visits of your own, since her days are often filled with outpatient trips back to City of Hope, or visits by home healthcare folks to our house-- and it's all a little tough for Nancy to keep track of right now. Hell, it's not that easy for me, either. But I appreciate you reaching out to me directly if you'd like to try and snag some time to see the SSWG in person.

And until next time, just know this. Even though the blog posts may be a little less frequent these days-- the days are definitely getting brighter. So thanks for all of your continuing warm thoughts, good vibes, and healing prayers on her behalf.

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!

FRIDAY REPORT

Just a quick update. Yesterday during her twice-weekly outpatient clinic visit at City of Hope-- we got two important bits of information from her doctors:

1. Her immune system numbers continue to rise, making the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess stronger and stronger every day.

2. Her second BCR-ABL test has once again confirmed that Nancy is leukemia free.

She's continuing to rest and recover at home. 
And some days and nights are better than others. 
But I keep trying to frame it in these metaphorical terms:

When Nancy was first diagnosed with A.L.L. back on New Year's Eve, it was like being told we had to climb Mount Everest.


We knew it was going to be extremely difficult. But we were also extremely determined to get her to remission.
So we started climbing. 

Three hospitals, dozens of doctors and nurses, hundreds of tests... 
Three rounds of chemo, eleven radiation treatments, more spinal taps than we care to count, a bone marrow transplant, and an unexpected brain seizure...

Until we finally made it to the summit. Remission.

But what happens once you reach the top? You're exhausted. Confused. Nearly broken.

So now those of us who love her the most? We're like sherpas-- slowly helping her down the other side. 

Each day the air seems a little more full.
The path feels a little less treacherous. 
And Nancy's body and mind continue to improve.  

And one day, not too long from now-- we'll all be able to look back and see that mountain in the distance behind us. 
We'll be able to pat her on the back and say, "Wow. Can you believe you made it over that thing?"

And then we'll keep right on walking, without looking back.


WE LOVE NANCY, and...

Her immune system numbers are still on the rise. Her meds are being gradually lowered. 
Every day, Nancy gets a little bit better. Every day, she seems a little more clear. 

The puzzle of sorting out her memories isn't a quick and easy one to solve. 

But the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess is surrounded by love and support from a million different sources. 

And one by one, the pieces are slowly coming together.

FRIDAY REPORT

Things were going really well. 

On Thursday, Nancy had her first return outpatient clinic visit at City of Hope. She got the dressing completely changed on the Hickman Line port in her chest which she's had since February and helps facilitate swift blood draws and medicine infusions. Then she had an amazing consultation with Dr. Forman, who was as elated as I was about how mentally sharp she was-- firing on pretty much all cylinders, cracking jokes, and even candidly discussing her occasional confusion and concern about not being able to remember what happened to her. He assured us both again that was completely normal-- and her short term memory issues would subside. When we went to bed that night, she was very tired-- and a little more confused-- but as the doctor had told us earlier, that's typical. After all, we all get a little confused and cranky when we're tired.

Then came this morning. 

I got up at 5:30AM to prepare her 6AM meds-- and was pleased to see her sleeping peacefully. It seemed like a nice start to what I knew would be a busy day-- not only taking care of her-- but also attending two very important meetings I had scheduled in the morning and the afternoon.

A beat later, Shirley came out to the kitchen to tell me that Nancy had slept very well-- only getting up once in the night. No more than a couple of minutes went by, as I finished prepping her meds. But when I entered to room to wake her-- I was surprised to find the bed empty. And when I went into the bathroom, I got the biggest surprise of all.

Nancy was standing in front of the mirror-- and had just completely removed her entire Hickman line-- tearing off all the sterile bandaging, peeling away the stat lock and safety padding, even finding a pair of scissors in the bathroom to cut the tubing right up to where it entered her chest.

I couldn't contain my own shock. "Oh no, what did you do?" I asked-- prompting her to look back at me matter-of-factly with an unapologetic reply. "It was bothering me," she said.

Of course, I was terrified. The line went directly into an artery behind her heart. If she had injured herself internally, it could have been deadly. And the risk of infection was also dangerous.

I rushed to get Shirley, who took one look-- then calmly (and thankfully) told me not panic. So as she quickly improvised a sterile bandage to cover the wound, I raced to get dressed and call City of Hope's emergency treatment center.

I got Nancy into my truck and drove like a bat out of hell to get her there-- calling her doctor and the triage nurses along the way. When we arrived, the swiftly assessed the situation and agreed with Doctor Forman that a chest x-ray needed to be immediately done to make sure there were no internal injuries-- then the remainder of the line had to be permanently removed. 

Our dear friend Ceci was scheduled to spend the day with Nancy at our house. But when I reached out to tell her what happened, she sweetly agreed to drive all the way back out to City of Hope to be there with us in case I needed to try and make my meetings.

Please understand-- my absolute priority was being there for Nancy-- who was already thinking pretty clearly at that point and feeling pretty bad about having done something she didn't remember doing.

But in addition to sucking-- cancer is also ridiculously expensive-- even with really great insurance (thanks, WGA Pension and Health)! So I also need to keep my professional life rolling.

Unfortunately, I had to postpone my first meeting. 
But fortunately, once the chest x-ray showed no internal injuries-- the doctor was able to give Nancy a local anesthetic and easily remove the remainder of her Hickman Line in a brief procedure. 

Ceci was kind enough to stay with her and get her home afterward. And I raced home to change, gather my notes and my wits, then head for my second meeting.

Needless to say, it was a very long day-- like a microcosm of the last two months, really-- filled with fear and worry, but also relief and joy-- especially when our friends Bob and Karen came over to hang with us.

From now on, Nancy will have to endure blood draws from her arm, the old fashioned way.
And until her confusion totally dissipates, we'll all need to keep a closer eye on the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess. I can tell she's uncomfortable being shadowed. And I know she wants to be in control of her own body and space. What's more, I really hate feeling like some kind of uptight, rule-making, overlord.

But it's my job to protect her-- even if right now, it's occasionally from herself.

WE LOVE NANCY, and...

WEDNESDAY REPORT

She's home. Got her back yesterday and have been trying to help her through life after 60 days in the hospital ever since. 

On the one hand, it's completely amazing to have her here. It just seems better for all of us-- especially the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess. She's in her own safe space. There's no more constant parade of strangers clad in yellow gowns, masks, and gloves. She's only surrounded by people who know and love her the most. And then, of course, there's Zingo the Wonder Dog, who won't let her out of his sight. 

On the other hand, it's incredibly challenging. She's still trying to put all kinds of pieces back together-- with some major short term memory issues frustrating all of us. 

Obviously, it's not her fault. And I know she doesn't want to be confused about anything. 

Plus, every single one of her doctors at City of Hope-- from oncologists and hematologists, to neurologists and psychiatrists, have all told us the same thing: based on her brain scans and their clinical experience with this kind of post-seizure recovery...

SHE WILL COME TOTALLY BACK. 

So that's the reality we're holding onto tooth and nail. But in the meantime, we continue to appreciate your overwhelmingly kind thoughts, good vibes, and healing prayers for a swift and sure return to full razor sharp form.

WE LOVE NANCY, and...
