Just a quick update. Cam has been going to school and has felt pretty good overall…less the headaches from the crazy pollen counts. He is SUCH a big guy for taking the number of pills he has to every day. We’ve started a little routine to help him out…while he’s getting them down, LeAnn will keep repeating…”Who rocks the house? Who rocks the house? Who rocks the house?” Then when he finishes, we all shout “CAM ROCKS THE HOUSE!” He just grins from ear to ear with that silly little smile and moves on to the next thing.
We have a trip to Hawaii planned for next month, so we’re all VERY excited about that. We’ll definitely take lots of pictures and videos. He’ll have a scan when we come back, so we’ll know how things are going and move forward from there.
One other "interesting" bit of news we also just found out which confirms what we already knew. Cam's original tumor was a type that researchers at St. Jude's have been studying, obviously, for a long time and this type of tumor ALWAYS has one of two specific characteristics. Those two characteristcs are not always found in every tumor, but Cam's tumor *should* have had one of those two characteristics. I've let the surprise out already, but his tumor is the first they've seen without EITHER of those characteristics. LeAnn was just at a Pediatric Brain Tumor conference a month or so ago and heard the researcher from St. Jude's and a leading pharma company make the statement about his tumor type always having one of the two characteristics and now Cam has blown it totally out of the water. So now the science world has found out what we already know...Cam is truly one of a kind.
