[HIATUS] CAREGIVER LIFEHACKS (CLL) "In Sickness and In Health" (Episode Two)

Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary

More than 53 million Americans act as family caregivers who often fall below the radar sacrificing everything in the name of compassion, empathy, and love. Caregiver Lifehacks amplifies the voices of those impacted by the diagnosis of a loved one. Hungry to connect and share information, these authentically candid interviews give us a peek into the vulnerable spaces of what it means to provide care for a loved one. Host Elura Nanos uses her no-BS conversational style to provide a home for the often unspoken thoughts and feelings of the caregiver experience. As a fiercely intelligent and radically compassionate lawyer and media professional, she knows the caregiver path all too well.

In a frank and candid conversation, two devoted husbands share the challenges and rewards of caring for their wives in different stages of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or CLL. Relationships are tough on their best days, but it can add a whole new range of challenges when the person you love is battling cancer. Meet Scott Fuller and Ted Walsh, who talk candidly about their failures and successes as caregivers to their wives who have CLL. Ted Walsh lives in the Raleigh, Durham area of North Carolina and works in the biomedical industry. Ted found out that his wife Laura had CLL just three months before their wedding date. Laura is currently in what's known in the CLL world as the "watch and wait" phase -- often known to folks on the inside as "watch and worry." Our other guest is Scott Fuller from Trophy Club, Texas, where he's the director of golf course maintenance at a country club. Scott has been married for 32 years to his wife Christina, who was diagnosed with CLL in 2018. Christina has recently begun treatment and is participating in a clinical trial at UT Southwestern. Both Scott and Ted are two extraordinary men who are partners in their wives' CLL journey.
