We went to see Hunter's doctors and it was of course great to see all of those that we haven't seen in such a long time. The doctor said that Hunter looked great and was also very happy to see him after his long battle away! She looked at his back and told us pretty much what everyone else has been telling us, to keep the creme on it at all times so that it doesn't get infected. Hunter has a lot of open area on his back from his skin peeling from the radiation. The area needs time to heal and recover from all that it has been through. The doctor wants him to wait to start working out until he gets a release from his radiation doctor. That appointment is scheduled for mid-August. He is looking forward to slowly starting to get back in shape. I'm sure that his body will tell him his limits. We have to go back to see his Oncologist in August. At that time they will schedule all the tests that Hunter will need to take. They will have Hunter take all of these tests at the end of August so that they don't come back with a false positive (due to radiation). We do not want that to happen so we will wait as long as necessary, although it is probably one of the hardest things to do.
Hunter looks great and is feeling great too. This past weekend we went to a friends house at June Lake and he went fishing which he hasn't done in many years. He fell in love with it all over again. It was great to see him enjoying himself and having fun like a 17 year old should. Thank you to the Isreal Family for letting us use their beautiful home at June Lake. Many wonderful, amazing memories were made...
Thank you again for everyones LOVE, SUPPORT and PRAYERS. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't THANK GOD for all the wonderful people we have in our lives.
LOVE, THE HERRICK FAMILY

TREATMENTS ALL DONE..
Hunter has finally reached home plate with ALL of his treatments being complete! YEAH.... We finished up radiation last week and he couldn't be happier. I'm sure that it's a feeling that everyone is sharing with us. Our family knows with all of our hearts that we could have NEVER gotten through these months without all of the love, support, and prayers from those ALL around us. From those that we have known for years, just met and those that we have never met, there truly are no words that can THANK YOU everyone for all that they have done for Hunter and our family. Each and everyone of you will forever be in our hearts.
Hunter has a doctors appointment on Wednesday with his regular Oncologist, which we haven't seen in a couple months since the beginning of City of Hope. We are assuming that we are going to have our follow up tests, which is what we really want as soon as possible so that we can hear that he is cancer free. We're not sure if they have to wait a certain amount of time after radiation or not but we will find out on Wednesday. We will keep everyone updated as we get information and test results but until then THANK YOU AGAIN for everything...
