Kyle's Story

Kyle
Age 17

New Mexico
University of New Mexico Children’s Hospital
Bone Cancer

Kyle has his future perfectly planned. First, he’s going to work for a cancer-related company. Second, he’s going to become the President of the United States. If anyone has the motivation and strength to reach these ambitious goals, it’s Kyle.

Diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a common form of bone cancer, Kyle has been through 18 rounds of chemotherapy, two lung operations and a major leg operation. His leg operation included removing and replacing his knee, four inches of his femur and eight inches of his tibia with stainless steel. Kyle stayed positive every step of the way.

Known as “the future politician,” Kyle is outgoing, energetic and always has a smile. If you ask him about his disease Kyle will tell you, “I had cancer, cancer never had me.”
