Hunter Update

Hunter eating his oatmeal this morning.
Hunter had an appt earlier this month. He is doing great. His blood work is looking good. The doctors don't want to mess to much with his meds because of how low he got at the beginning at 100%. Hunter's meds are at 75% and will increasing slowly.

Hunter told his doctor that he ran a mile the month earlier. Dr. Russell was very impressed. Especially since Hunter had such a severe toxicity last July that has taken his so long to recover from. Hunter asked if he could play dodge ball in P.E. To which Dr. Russell responded, Yes. But to be careful with his port. If it gets hit it could get broken.
He wants him to be a middle school boy and do those things that they do. Dr. Russell also said if he were to look at his blood work and not know his history, he would guess Hunter was your average teenage boy. 

It's so fun to see him running around outside with the other kids.
We have also been questioned several times how Hunter is doing and it he cancer gone. A week after he was diagnosed, the cancer was gone. All of the treatments have been and are to make sure it doesn't come back. Chemo is confusing up the blood so that it won't reproduce the cancer cells.
We are all grateful to be in this phase of Hunter's treatment. What a blessing Doernbecher and all the staff are to us.
