DOC (Dave) Callahan was diagnosed with Stage IIIb Multiple Myeloma in September, 2010. I have created this blog to update family, friends, and other multiple myeloma patients on Dave's condition, share information, and provide support for one another as we start this tough journey of "healing". Much Love: Jeana

Dave Update-June15, 2011
Hello family and friends, I spoke with Dave this morning and he said his white blood count is rising. He's over 1.0 right now. I'm not a hundred percent sure how Stanford classifies the safe level, but some of the MM patients I follow are saying 2.0 or higher. I'll let you know when I find out for sure. We are hopeful that Dave will get released tomorrow. They said if he doesn't get any fever today after getting him off antibiotics than he should be safe to go back to the apartment tomorrow. I'm hoping this is true since we are going for a visit on Saturday. I can't wait to see Dave and Mom. I know it has only been two weeks, but it feels like forever. I can imagine it feels a ton worse for them.
