DID YOU KNOW – Kyson

Did You Know?

Pediatric cancers are very different from adult cancers and, therefore, need their own research and treatments?

Kyson Newman – At one-year-old little Kyson was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer. He has spent every holiday of his life in the hospital. While his mother wishes they could have just a “normal” day at the park or zoo, she finds joy in the caring medical teams who are amused by Kyson’s toddler antics and keeps faith in a greater plan. She lives each day with the knowledge that tomorrow is never guaranteed, and makes the most of each day by staying positive, finding joy in every situation, and sharing this attitude with others. If you know of someone with a cancer diagnosis, she says, reach out! Check in and ask them what they need. And, support early phase clinical trials so a cure can be found.
