Kaitlin Burge, a mother of a boy who was diagnosed with cancer, posted a heart-wrenching photo of her son being comforted by his elder sister during chemotherapy. That was over 2 years ago, and after a long, exhausting, hard-fought battle, little Beckett is now all better and going to school.
We at Bright Side were over the moon to hear that the boy is leukemia-free, and we hope this story will help all who are going through tough times right now to remember that there’s always hope.
It was a tough time for everyone.
Beckett was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on April 25, 2018, at the age of 2. The 2 siblings, who are 15 months apart, went from playing at home to sitting in a cold hospital room together. Beckett’s sister, Aubrey, then 4 years old, watched her brother struggle to walk and play.
The situation was hard on everyone, and it came as a complete shock to the family. But as Kaitlin disclosed exclusively to Bright Side, they stuck together, relied on each other, and took it one day at a time.
