Update - 10/7

Yesterday's visit to the Proton Beam Center was, simply put, AMAZING! The people were absolutely wonderful and so good to Cam. The entire experience put our minds at ease as to whether or not we were doing the right thing.

Today, she will have the CT simulation and we will meet again with the team of doctors/technicians/nurses that will be caring for her during the treatment. This meeting will discuss further the process, side effects, timeline, etc. for her both immediate and long term.

As difficult as it will be for us all to be separated for the next 4 - 6 weeks, we are sure that this is the best treatment plan for Campbell with the most optimistic results. The chance of regrowth of the tumor is only 20% using this treatment - 80% is a REALLY good number for anyone. When you add in the prayers and positive thoughts and support she continues to receive, there is no doubt that her success rate will be much higher.

With Love,

Greg, Robin, Caitlin, Caroline & Campbell
