Journal entry by Jessica Cooksey —
Sorry for the gap between updates, unfortunately Hunter has not been feeling well lately which has made it harder to find time to update here.
We are in Week 11 now and preparing for scans next week - the scans will give us a better idea of whether or not there has been any change in the location of Hunter's cancer, and whether it has spread, stayed the same, or shrunk. We are hoping for less but will have to wait and see. We also have the consult with the radiologist next week to determine how many sessions of proton radiation Hunter will have to undergo. The oncologist thinks 20 sessions at most, which would be four weeks - and we are hoping for LESS.
Needless to say next week will be full of information! We are ready to make the necessary steps and get through this and be done! 31 weeks and counting!
I will update more next week once we have more information.
