GASTON COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) - We introduced you to 15-month-old Hunter Ballard two weeks ago, right after he was diagnosed with ATRT.
His Uncle Josh continues to send updates, knowing many of you care. (ATRT is a very rare cancer, short for Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor. The best description is that itâs a fast-growing cancerous tumor of the brain and spinal cord.)
Hunter is from Lowell, in Gaston County. A couple of days after that original post, Hunter had a fever varying from 99, up to 104. His mom, Amy, whoâs in the hospital with him constantly, says the fever was confusing and scary. She says at first doctors thought Hunter might have pneumonia⦠then maybe bacterial infection⦠then wondered if it was meningitis.
