My apologies. I tried to share a post from Will Roberts earlier today that showed how helpful port protectors are. It did not post correctly. It somehow posted a photo of the Hunter and his mom and dad. My intent in sharing was to share education and a helpful tip if you or a loved one is going through this.
Since that didn’t work but the post still got several likes I’ll share a quick Hunter update.
Hunter did a full day of school on Monday.
Today , Tuesday June 2, 2026, Hunter had chemo outpatient. It was a long day for him. He got vincristine and Cyclophosphamide. It was a tough day on the cancer ward. I’m told there was a little girl who screamed all day long, the primal, horrible fear screams. The walls are thin there and that’s if you’re fortunate enough to get a room. Not complaining, just making others aware. There are few things harder than seeing a children’s cancer clinic or cancer treatment floor in the hospital. There are kids who have to spend a lot of time in the hospital without parents because this country doesn’t have anything in place as far as parents being able to be with their children if they’re in treatment. Hopefully that changes in the very near future.
Tomorrow, Hunter will go into school again.
Photos below are ones I took of Shane and Hunter sharing their trucker hat looks that shane gets such a kick out of. Pics are foggy because my camera protector is broken.
If you’re new to our page, Hunter just turned 9. He was diagnosed with localized Ewing Sarcoma in his upper right humerus on January 5, 2026. He had limb salvage surgery April 14, 2026 at Boston Children’s Hospital. Surgeons removed the tumor and replaced his bone with cadaver bone. Recovery is going very well for Hunter and he’s already showing signs of new bone growth. Prayers for good union. Hunter will continue chemotherapy through August. Once chemo is done he can start to do some strength training physical therapy. He still faces a long road of recovery. Hunter is a hockey nut. Before this diagnosis, he was on the ice up to five days a week. Hunter says he will play hockey again.
