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.

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!
SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU AND ALL OF YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED -- TRULY AWE INSPIRING. YOU DID IT!!!!! Love, the Saunders Family
