DAILY NANCY UPDATE #39

Greetings. 

This is the thirty-ninth 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

Today we're back at UCLA Ronald Reagan Hospital, where Nancy has undergone a minor surgical procedure to have a Hickman Line (central venous catheter) implanted in her chest for the next round of conductive chemotherapy which begins this Wednesday. This same line can also be used for a bone marrow/stem cell transplant. She was placed under "twilight" anesthesia, and the procedure lasted around 45 minutes.

As usual, she was a complete trooper-- even though she had to answer the standard 11 million questions asked by every nurse who entered the room and the surgical ward was cold enough to hang meat in. 

Hopefully, her new central line will make the process of administering meds and taking blood draws much easier than before, without the risk of any further clotting (an unfortunate side effect of the PICC line that she had in her arm a few weeks ago). Your good thoughts and prayers to that end would be greatly appreciated as always.

WE LOVE NANCY and...

ALL IS WELL!
