UPDATE # 2:

We met with Hutton’s oncology team today to go over what we know so far and the PET Scan she had done yesterday. We still do not know what type of cancer she has (“normal” cancers have been ruled out and her biopsy samples are now at a 3rd pathology lab for testing), but she believes it is a type of sarcoma growing from her pelvic bone. The PET scan also showed that it has metastasized and is in her lungs as well. Hutton’s doctor is hoping for the final pathology to come in this week so that we will know the specific type of cancer we are fighting. As of now, Hutton will be admitted to CHOC next Thursday to begin her chemo and radiation treatments.

We don’t know how this will look as we don’t know how her body will react to the chemo and radiation but the plan now is a few days in the hospital and a few days home. She will have to be home-schooled during this time (which she is excited about ). We appreciate all your love and support and ask that you continue to keep Hutton in your prayers. This is going to be a very rough and long journey, and though statistically the long-term outcome at this time does not appear to be good, we know she is strong and we have faith she will defy those statistics.
