Core Story
Care Tuk's life has been marked by extraordinary medical adversity, including cancer, DES-related complications, a devastating car accident, a brain bleed, a brain tumor, and more than 120 surgeries. Yet she describes her faith as a relationship with God that became most real when she reached "the end of myself." Rather than allowing suffering to define her, Care chose to use her life to encourage others, serve people with disabilities, and look for opportunities to help others "at the end of your hand."
Podcast Transcript: Care Tuk — Cancer, a Car Crash & Brain Bleed Haven’t Stopped Her
Amazing Greats with Clem Daniels
Introduction
Clem Daniels:Welcome to the Amazing Greats podcast, where we have a unique opportunity to talk with people you know from movies, music, sports, books, or politics. It's a real and raw conversation about their life, their career, and how faith has played a role in it. No preaching or teaching, and no church experience is required.
Today, join your host, an accomplished video and audio producer, voice talent, voice coach, and former on-air personality. Here's Clem Daniels.
Clem Daniels:Thank you, Joe, for that nice introduction.
Hey, welcome everybody to another episode of Amazing Greats. Today I'm your host, Clem Daniels, and my special guest is, well, not only amazing, but she's also great in so many ways. Today you'll meet Care Tuk from Wasilla, Alaska.
She is a survivor. For over four decades, she's fought many a battle with a variety of cancers—at least 14. She's survived more than 120 surgeries. She's made up of titanium, screws, and fishing line.
Her first book is appropriately titled Loose Screws and Skinned Knees. If all this is not enough, she is a survivor of a drunk driver rear-ending her at 50 miles an hour, shattering her facial bones, which required even more surgeries.
Care has been given CPR twice and brought back to life and has survived H1N1. Most recently, she and her husband Bill survived COVID-19.
We're very, very lucky to have with us today—and I do mean that literally—Care Tuk. Care, how are you?
Care Tuk:Thanks, Clem. It's, I think, more of an honor and pleasure for me to be with you.
A Friendship That Goes Back Years
Clem Daniels:Personally, I've known you for a number of years, but my wife, Terry, has known you for even longer. You two went to high school together on Mercer Island here in Washington, which is right outside of Seattle. And you two went to college together at UPS, where she introduced you to your husband?
Care Tuk:Yes. In fact, I was about ready to strangle her when she set me up on that blind date with this behemoth ninth-in-the-nation heavyweight wrestler.
The Beginning of a Long Medical Journey
Clem Daniels:So, in the introduction today, I mentioned that you've had about 120 surgeries, and you've had cancer—what, 14 bouts of cancer? And you're suffering from four different types of cancer right now.
Let's go back to the beginning and tell us how and why all of this has happened to you in your life.
Care Tuk:Sure. It started prior to my knowledge of knowing I was even exposed to the drug DES, or diethylstilbestrol.
My mom had colon cancer. She was a teacher at the high school that I went to, the same high school that Terry and I went to on Mercer Island. And she died of colon cancer when I was 16.
You know, 16 is kind of that funny age where you're just getting to know your parents, and mothers and daughters are sometimes talking nicely to each other during those wonderful teen years. We were starting to get close, but I had no idea that she had taken this drug at all.
Three years afterward, in the early '70s, it was the "burn the bra," women's lib era, and everything was really starting to go. At the college they were encouraging all women to go get checked.
So I dutifully made my appointment, and the doctor came back out and said, "Do you have anybody here with you?"
I said, "No."
He said, "Do you want somebody here with you?"
And I'm going, "No."
And he goes, "Well, I don't know how to tell you this, other than you have what looks like the beginning of malignant cervical cancer, most likely due to DES."
And I thought, "I had no clue what DES was."
So he went into a lengthy discussion. We have found since then, at high school class reunions, that it was an experimental drug used to prevent miscarriages. It was used actually up until the '70s.
Receiving the First Diagnosis at 19
Clem Daniels:So a lot has happened in between that time and now. From the first sign of cervical cancer, what happened there?
Care Tuk:I was only 19. I mean, here I was. I'd driven from Tacoma to Seattle, and I drove back home and didn't know what to do.
You know, girls didn't talk to their dads about that kind of female stuff back then.
Clem Daniels:And how many other women are you aware of who have gone through what you've gone through? In fact, we haven't even really started talking about that yet, because there's a big, long list.
How many other women do you know who have suffered like you have and had the same experiences, without, I suppose, passing away from this? Maybe some have.
Care Tuk:Some have. Some definitely have that I've known.
That's a hard answer because everyone suffers in a different way. How I may suffer may be totally different than somebody else.
Now, as far as the numbers and the amounts of surgeries or things that had to be attended to, so far everybody—doctors included—say I hold the record.
They have made me not just an honorary chair of the medical team of my current 15 doctors, from the UW to Mayo Clinic to up here at Providence. They say, "Okay, so what do you think? You know your body best. Tell us."
And nine times out of ten, they listen, and it's been pretty right on.
The Medical Consequences of DES
Clem Daniels:I can't imagine how you must have felt when you first heard about this. And I'm sure—well, maybe not—the doctors didn't know the extent of how far this could go, but they were starting to hear cases and seeing cases from this.
Care Tuk:I think you're right on with that, Clem. I think they didn't know what can of worms had just been opened because we were the first generation. We're kind of the guinea pigs. We still are.
And when the lawyers kept badgering and badgering and badgering us—"You've got to, you've got to. You can make so much money off of big pharma."
Our mindset was, "But I'm alive."
You can't put a price on a life. You can't put a dollar sign on it. You can't put a debit card on what life is. Life is precious. There's no amount of money.
Now, 45, 50, 60 years later, would I maybe think differently? Yeah. It sure would have been nice to have some of the money. I've probably put more kids—doctors' kids—through college.
Well, my own kids, our own kids, got to pay their own way.
The Drunk-Driving Accident
Clem Daniels:Let's talk about some of the things that you have experienced. I mentioned in the opening that a large portion of your body is made of titanium and fishing line and screws—lots of screws and things like that.
Run us through some of the experiences on the surgical table that you've gone through just to be here today.
Care Tuk:When I got hit by the drunk driver, it was a stick shift. My right hand was on the stick, and I'm so tall—at that point I'm 5'9"—and airbags weren't a thing then, so my seatbelt didn't kick in.
My jaw hit the steering wheel. My head went back and hit the back window. I can still hear that sound.
Then the seatbelt clicked in and thrust me back.
I was obviously in shock—enough to know, "Okay, I've got to get off the road if this thing will drive."
I pulled it into the driveway. It was stuck in reverse.
I got out, went into the house, went up the three stairs into the house. The other guy had gone. We lived across the two-lane road from our hayfields, and he had just gone down into the hayfields.
I called 911, and they were asking if I was hurt. All of a sudden that kind of brought me around to, "Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. My back, my face, whatever."
I fell to the floor and she goes, "Help is on the way. Don't hang up."
Well, I did hang up and called Bill.
Bill happened to be remodeling a place that was not too far away. He actually passed the emergency vehicles because he was going so fast and made it to the house before they did.
I was in full traction for three months. Then for another six months we just bolted the traction to the living-room wall so we could be there.
The Mission Trip That Didn't Happen
Clem Daniels:And you and Bill had just gotten word that you were accepted to go on a missionary trip.
Care Tuk:Three days earlier, we had been accepted.
I was going to be teaching at a university in Perth, Australia, at first. Then came a letter that we were going to get to go to Africa. Bill would be on construction, and we would be working. I would be working again at a clinic, and he would be helping with a big construction site to bring water to villages that had no water, teaching them some of the rudimentary farming and building techniques.
Our daughter at the time was five, and I recently ran across the get-well cards from her kindergarten class. They were so precious.
But she was really ticked at God because she was looking so forward to going to Africa. She was so mad.
So Bill finally said, "Okay, enough's enough. I want you to just sit down and I want to tell you something."
He sat us down on the sofa and said, "I want you to look at your hand."
So take your hand, if you're listening or watching, and look at your hand and count to three.
One, two, three.
He said, "Okay, the call to the mission field has not changed, just the place."
Whether you're at school, at the grocery store, wherever you are—no, it doesn't mean we're Bible bangers. We're not. We're encouragers. We're people of faith.
And that's where it is.
So we have a saying in our house: "At the end of your hand."
And it has happened more times than not that just right there at the end of our hand is an opportunity—whether it's to pay it forward for somebody going through the Starbucks line or at the grocery store, or whether it's somebody else who you can tell needs some help.
More Surgeries and the "Bionic" Body
Clem Daniels:That's amazing.
I want to get back to the sheer number of surgeries you've had, and again, as to why the DES that you spoke of earlier is the primary reason, and then you had the car accident on top of it.
Care Tuk:Well, and on the car accident, the shoulders have now had to be rebuilt a total of ten times.
Over time things wear out, and some people don't do what they probably should do—obey orders as carefully as we could have been, or what we might tell our patients to do.
You know, kind of "Do as I say, not as I do." Isn't that how the saying goes?
Clem Daniels:Yeah, that's how I remember it.
Care Tuk:I had doctors, as I said, who were forward-thinking. My orthopedic surgeon had just learned a new technique down at Baylor where they—still to this day—my scapular shoulder blades are held up with 25-pound-test monofilament fishing line.
X-rays and MRIs have gotten sophisticated enough that you can see the anchor bolts. You can actually see the monofilament line versus my cancer. I've not let them take my port out for the cancer.
You can see all of the screws.
As far as the other bionic parts, do you want to get into that and the whys?
Custom-Made Knee Replacement
Clem Daniels:It is my understanding, from the stories you've shared with me through the years, that there is a workshop that they set up next to the room where they're doing the surgery so they can custom-make whatever is needed, and they don't know what you need oftentimes until they get in there. Is that correct?
Care Tuk:Yeah, exactly. In fact, this has now happened twice.
The first one was my knee.
From the DES, one of the more common things is degenerative joint disease and osteoarthritis. Yes, we all get that as we get older, but mine was progressing rapidly enough that they were going in every six months just to clean it out—to vacuum it out.
It came to a point when I had my first total knee when I was 28.
Doctors even now will say at 55 or 60 you're still too young to get a total knee. We want to wait as long as possible.
And I proved why that reason is true, because I was still a mom. I was coaching, helping with soccer, playing soccer, was a local swim-team coach, pounding pavement and walking on it.
So I wore my first one out.
Then I wore my second one out.
We get down to surgery, and there are three different stations set up in the room next to me. Somebody from Florida, somebody from California, somebody from Seattle, and they were all set up.
I recently found out what it was for. It was a study.
They literally fashioned my femur and my tibia—the long bone in my upper leg and the long bone in my lower leg—and then they put a piston in with the total knee to fashion it like that.
I'm 14 years out on that, and I have 124 degrees of range on that, which even for a geezer is pretty good.
The other normal total knee, where I've only had one total knee, I've got 135.
So that's saying something.
The interesting thing was that somebody else that Terry and I went to high school with was the head surgical nurse that day. So she got to watch all of it happen.
In my drug fog over the next several days, she kept coming back and telling me the stories about what it was.
She said, "Man, it was like watching Discovery Health. It was so cool."
But what it was is they were prototyping for 3D printers.
Now they can, before you have surgery, take a picture of the exact length, what you are, your fat, your muscle, everything, and fashion a titanium bone for you and have it fit perfectly.
Brain Bleed and Speech Loss
Clem Daniels:Wow, that's amazing.
So what other parts of your body are titanium that have had the same structure?
Care Tuk:We'll start with the head.
I had—I still don't know why—a rare brain bleed. It hit right over here, which is your speech center.
And I used to talk a lot like Yoda.
I still have some words, like "ab...lafat." I cannot to this day put together certain letters.
Clem Daniels:How about the word "salmon"? Can you say salmon?
Care Tuk:Salmon.
Clem Daniels:And you live in Alaska. You can't say salmon!
Care Tuk:That and the other white fish.
And of course, what do you cook it in? My husband loves this one.
"Try to say, 'What are we having tonight, honey?'"
"White fish."
"What kind of white fish?"
"Halibut."
"What are you cooking it in?"
"A pan."
"What are you lining the pan with, honey?"
"Foil."
"No, no, no. What's the other word for it?"
I butcher it.
Clem Daniels:Aluminum.
Oh, that's so funny.
But you know what? Your speech is so much better. I remember those Daffy Duck days—or Yoda days. You could hardly even get a full sentence out.
Care Tuk:I would actually even type what I was saying.
And people would have to call and say, "Get off the computer! Get off the computer! You're typing Yoda!"
So it would be, yeah, it was crazy.
Living With the Effects of the Brain Bleed
Care Tuk:Anyway, so we had that brain bleed. I got the speech back. We got a lot of that back.
All of that happened during 9/11, which was a really scary time to be in rehab when, at that time, I didn't talk.
My right side is like I've had a stroke. My hand—I never know what kind of grip I'm going to have. I use built-up handles. I use what plumbers usually use for pipe insulation around utensils.
I just don't have the strength on that one.
Short-term memory has been a part of it because part of the short-term memory area has been hit.
I do have the screws from when they had to take the—from the brain bleed—they had to screw my head back together.
Then I have the screws and nuts and bolts in both knees.
Because of one of the cancers, I got neuropathy, and I got it badly enough that I wasn't getting blood to my toes on my left foot. So they had to fuse four of my toes.
There's metal from C5-C6, which was from the car accident. We had some railroad ties in the back end of the little pickup, and it hit right smack into me.
That's been replaced with a cage, and I've got a cage and screws with that.
I'm also fused at L4-L5-S1, again from the degenerative joint.
The rest of my spine is all but everything fused, all but C2-C3, which is about 80 percent fused, and that's part of the DES that they're finding.
I know I can no longer drive because I can't turn enough to be safe enough, and there would be no way that I want to be responsible to hurt anybody.
Another Fall and Another Major Surgery
Care Tuk:My shoulder—after I wrote Loose Screws and Skinned Knees—I was coming back and delivering some books to hospice.
It was April, and I had a piece of ice about this big.
Of course, my cleats were sitting on the passenger side that I should have been smart enough to use, but I said, "Oh, come on. There's hardly any ice. You can—you know—not a big deal."
Yeah. It was a big deal.
As soon as my foot hit it, I went down and hit my arm here and shattered my arm up here.
So I ended up with a plate and ten screws there.
Then, about a year ago, they had to replace it because some of the cancer and side effects that had happened—and more surgery—they had to take it out.
I'd lost so much weight. I'd lost almost 50 pounds, and the screws were coming through the bone and starting to do damage to the muscle area.
The doctors—I remember one of them. He kind of reminds me of a six-foot-five Doogie Howser, pigeon-toed, shoelaces untied. Just a great guy. He was newer to the community.
I heard three doctors talking to him, and they said, "Are you absolutely nuts? You're going to operate on her? Don't you know that anything that will go wrong, it's always on her? You do have a backup plan, don't you?"
And he goes, "Uh, no, but I will before I go in."
They said, "Good."
Well, he got in there.
I didn't have a deltoid muscle.
When they took the screws and plate out, there had been so much remodeling and they'd had to take so much bone away, there was no muscle.
So I can't move my arm. I have more function than I've had in the last ten years, but I don't have as much range.
They were going to do a reverse total shoulder, which is the newer shoulder replacement.
If people are thinking about it and somebody says something as an occupational therapist, I would say yes, consider it as a viable option.
So they had to put a real total shoulder in.
The only reason I was in the hospital was because I'm a geezer and because Medicare was primary. Otherwise, I could have had it done at an outpatient center, gone home, and been fine.
The doctor said, "I'll come at midnight and let you out."
"No, no. Just come in the morning."
Well, I hadn't thought about the fact that at four o'clock I'm going to get woken up and they're going to take my blood.
They did, which was a good thing because they found I'd lost half of my blood during the surgery.
I'd lost so much blood.
So I said, "Ah, just take me to Jiffy Lube, give me a couple pints, and we'll be on our way."
They said, "Now, if we give you two, you're going to be here at least until tomorrow."
"Okay."
Later that afternoon, after the second bag, after the "Jiffy Lube" job, I suddenly went into just this flexion pattern.
This was the arm, but this hand would just grip.
They saw it and rushed me down to the ER.
All I can remember is they're doing CPR, they're pushing on me, and I'm kind of going...
Then the happy juice comes in, and I don't remember anything.
But the doctor was called, and he said, "I'm just the mechanic. I don't know what to do. Do what you do because you think it's a stroke or a heart attack or something. I don't know."
When I kind of came to around eight o'clock that night, I'm looking and I'm looking at my oncologist sitting on the chair.
I'm going, "Are you just here doing rounds?"
And he goes, "No, I drew the short straw."
And I go, "What?"
He goes, "Yeah. Seven of us were all at the same function. All of our pagers went off at the same time."
"You don't know?"
I said, "What?"
"That they put a new shoulder in you?"
"I said, "Yeah, I know that. That's why I'm here."
He goes, "Uh, no. We found a brain tumor the size of a golf ball in the back of your head."
And I'm going, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Funny, funny, funny, Larry. Funny."
He goes, "No, I'm serious. Do you want to see the picture?"
He showed me, and I'm going, "Like, how in the heck can we not know that I had something as big as a golf ball?"
I guess you can say that's a no-brainer.
Or, you know, no brains, no headache.
I didn't have a headache.
It was an aggressive form of a grade-two meningioma.
So that happened.
We get through that, and that pushed us into more screws and another surgery.
This time it was more midline and went straight down.
The interesting thing was that it took enough pressure off that I really have not had Yoda, other than those 30 words that never came back.
My balance is much, much better.
And that's just an anomaly.
Losing Her Daughter
Care Tuk:All of this was happening about four to six weeks after we had lost our daughter unexpectedly.
She was pregnant—23 weeks pregnant—with our third grandbaby.
So things were kind of chaotic.
You go from being with your daughter and having fun with the grandkids to being in the middle of your yearly cancer checkups and all that stuff you have to go through—colonoscopies and all that good kind of fun.
Then you go right into the shoulder surgery.
As soon as it was stable enough, you go into brain surgery.
Then you go back into the yearly cycle, and they do a CT scan.
They find that where I didn't have a gallbladder anymore, where the gallbladder duct was, there was duct cancer in the common bile duct.
Normally, it might be in somebody my age or older—it might get up to eight millimeters.
Mine was 19 millimeters, and they still had not figured out what it was.
While they did that CT, they said, "Let's do a PET scan and make sure she doesn't light up anywhere else."
Lo and behold, I lit up at the sixth rib, and it showed that I had a tumor on my sixth rib.
When the radiologist came out and they were going to do a biopsy, she goes, "Care, I mean, I've worked on you for 18 years."
She goes, "I can't do this. Where the tumor is sitting is right next to the main artery of the heart and on the lining of your lung. There's no way I can do it without doing severe damage or killing you."
And I said, "You know, do what you've got to do."
She said, "Let me take one more look."
She went back, and what they ended up doing was going in through the fifth rib, going in about two and a half inches, and coming through the backside.
When Did Care First Discover Her Faith?
Clem Daniels:When did you first, I guess, realize your faith? And how did that come about?
Care Tuk:You know, I think I always had what you would consider faith because my parents took us to church and that type of thing.
But it wasn't until three days before my mom passed away that I was at a Young Life meeting.
It was one thing that I could get out of the house for and be among my peers because I was taken out of school part-time to take care of my mom.
One reason was because it was so costly, and hospice and home health were just coming into being.
So I would go to Young Life because there were cute boys and I could see friends.
And yeah, they could do some God talk, but that's okay.
But this one talk they gave that night was really needling me.
I finally couldn't take it any longer.
I got up and walked out, and a couple of friends followed me.
They said, "Are you okay? You're not going to do anything stupid, are you?"
I said, "No. I just—I gotta get some air. Just leave me alone. I need some air."
And I realized that God...
I looked up and said, "God, if you're really real—I mean, I go to church on Sunday. I help in Sunday school stuff. I know all this stuff. But if you're really, really real, I'm throwing the gauntlet down right here, right now.
"I can't take this anymore. I can't take not being able to date, not being able to go to football or baseball games or basketball games. I can't take not being able to become a lifeguard because of Mom being sick.
"Take her, and I'll believe you're real."
Three days later, my mom died.
Do I believe that God did that for me?
No. She was going to die anyway. She was in the final stages of stage-four colon cancer.
But I also know—and it's become a hallmark for me—that the closest I feel to God is when I come to the end of myself.
And that's what happened that night in high school. I came to the end of myself.
Yes, that was kind of in some of the Jesus Movement times or whatever, but I never really got involved in a lot of that.
For me, my faith is more relationship.
It's not about a denomination. It's not about beliefs and some of that. It's about what my relationship is with God.
Now, there are people who share the same values or share some of the same things I do. But if they don't, I don't care if you're Black, brown, pink, blue, purple, polka-dotted.
I don't care if you happen to believe and go to the Jehovah's Witness church or Mormon church or Catholic church or whatever church.
Going to a building, going to church doesn't make you a Christian.
Just like going to your favorite fast-food place doesn't make you a hamburger.
For me, it's about relationship.
And so that's kind of where I came to faith.
Bill kind of was the same, and yet he came to it after we had started dating.
He was really realizing that, and we've just been a team ever since.
Family, Adoption and a Life of Service
Clem Daniels:Now, the daughter that you did lose, she was adopted because we started off with your service of cancer, and you could not have children, right, even though you wanted them dearly.
You had two adopted children—or had two adopted children. You say you have one left, Tim.
Care Tuk:And we would not have had Tim if we had gone on the mission field, right?
Clem Daniels:That's another story for someday.
I also want to talk about some of the things that you're noted for.
You have a master's degree in education, and you're an occupational therapist, correct?
Care Tuk:Occupational therapist.
Clem Daniels:You helped develop Wheels for the World for Joni and Friends International Disability Center.
You're named one of the Top Five Business Women in America in 2000.
You're the first Alaskan to be named a Hero of Hope for the American Cancer Society.
I mean, you've done so many things.
And you were talking just a few minutes ago about how cherished your life has been, I suppose, based on many of your experiences.
Maybe perhaps God said, first of all, He let you live, and that's why you're thrilled.
But you did something with it.
I mean, you're still doing something with it.
And that's just amazing.
Choosing an Attitude of Gratitude
Care Tuk:Well, thanks, Clem. I appreciate that.
And, you know, there are days that everybody grieves. Everybody lives in different ways.
We all have struggles. We all have hardships. We all have good times. We all have bad times.
But I believe you can either be in pain or you could be a pain.
And it's all about what kind of attitude are you going to sport?
I choose to sport a glatitude.
Now, my husband might argue. He'd say, "Yeah, I've seen enough of your batitudes that I might beg to differ on that one, lady."
Because the next name for me is "lady."
But, yeah.
Closing
Clem Daniels:Thank you so much for being with us today and sharing the story.
What a road you have traveled.
Wow.
I hope we get a chance to do that.
Care Tuk:Thank you for letting me share this.
Clem Daniels:Care Tuk, everybody.
Oh, I also want to talk about Loose Screws and Skinned Knees. That's your first book, and you have a second book coming up sometime soon, I hope.
Care Tuk:Hopefully. We just found a printer.
Yep. It's called Don't Wimp Out: Finding Faith, Courage, and Victory in Life's Daily Battles.
Clem Daniels:So we'll look forward to it.
