Damon – A story of conquering bone cancer – Osteosarcoma
Damon Sooter
Cancer always finds a way to ruin things. Damon’s birthday was destroyed by the news that he had cancer, on May 9th, 2018, on his 16th birthday… Damon was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, bone cancer. Osteosarcoma usually comes with some hard choices – besides chemotherapy, the patient usually either goes through limb salvage surgery or amputation of the cancerous limb. Damon is a very optimistic boy and chose to have his limb salvaged, instead of amputated! Damon received harsh chemotherapy treatments but remained optimistic through it all! He is currently cancer free! Great job, Damon! 💛
Well Hello there! Welcome to Warriors of Gold. I'm Kim, a 19-year-old fighting for better treatments for childhood cancer and more funding. Not only is childhood cancer research severely underfunded in the United States, but it's also even worse around the world. Right now children get 7% of funding meanwhile adults get 93%. Childhood cancer is not rare, in fact, it's getting very common!
