'Fighting with love': McCalls' family, friends help raise money for cancer ...
22.05.12
KINGS MOUNTAIN - Wanda and David McCall had planned to celebrate their first wedding anniversary with a cruise to the Bahamas.
Instead, on Valentine’s Day, Wanda McCall will be at the hospital with her husband as he has a port catheter installed in his chest.
David McCall’s Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which had been in remission for more than two years, has come back.
Instead of a romantic dinner, the McCalls will be embarking on a fight for David’s life.
This week will be filled with doctors’ appointments as he prepares for chemotherapy and then a transplant with his own bone marrow cells.
When David McCall talks about the cancer, which is in the third stage, he is optimistic and upbeat. The only time he loses his composure is when he talks about the affect it will have on his family.
“I hate worse than anything my wife is going through this,” he said, trying to hold back tears. “I just want to make her happy. That’s the hard part.”
