Sending many prayers for you and Jen and Hunter that the treatment will be successful. Sounds like you and the doctors are on top of this for all the latest and best care possible and for keeping strong hopes alive. THanks for the update.

I have been wondering about you so thank you for the update though I wish it was better news. I hope and pray that the treatment slows the progression and that Jen is able to tolerate the combination better than expected. Keep looking at Hunter through the really hard times and knowing it is all worth it for him and the both of you.

Jay, so sorry to hear that Jen has to go back into treatment. I hope and pray that it works for her. From following your posts, I know you have the mental and emotional toughness that is required of the caregiver in these very difficult circumstances. I will be rooting for you, Jen and Hunter.
