Many of us will unfortunately have to deal with cancer at some point in our lives.
Even if the horrible illness may not personally impact us, there’s a good possibility that someone we know or love will.
We’ve covered many cancer-related stories at Moomuse, including heartbreaking, motivational, and victorious ones. But of all the stories, the one about 2-year-old Beckett affected us the most.
The young youngster in the terrifying image above could be familiar to you.
In 2019, Beckett’s mother, Kaitlin Burge, shared an image on social media showing her two-year-old boy being consoled by his older sister while undergoing chemotherapy.
On April 25, 2018, Beckett was reportedly diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and started treatment right away.
Aubrey, who was four years old then, had to watch helplessly while her little brother fought to muster the energy to play, much less walk.
Bright Side said that Kaitlin described how Beckett was treated for cancer in the hospital for 35 days, during which Aubrey was unable to visit him. She was aware of his severe illness and the medical professionals attending to him, but it was all too much for her to process.
Thankfully, Beckett’s therapy was successful, and the small child is currently cancer-free.
“I smiled even though I saw my only kid go through so much. I saw my darling Aubrey overcome a challenging period in her life and grow very self-sufficient,” Kaitlin added.
“She witnessed her best friend/brother in a situation that no sibling ought to ever be in.”
Following two years of resolute battle, Beckett has overcome his cancer and is back in school.
“He is feeling great, he is back to school, currently in the first grade,” Kaitlin stated after finishing his therapy.
The six-year-old Beckett’s relationship with his heroic older sister was created by an almost unfathomable fight, and we’re sure she’s happy that he’s doing well.
The Bad Day Pass
Motivating tales like Beckett’s have the power to help the rest of us put our daily problems into perspective.
Even though it might be challenging to remember, it is always beneficial to bear in mind that both happy and bad times are transitory; even if you cannot see it now, there will eventually come an end, and better things are usually waiting around the corner.
The fact that Beckett survived his cancer struggle and is now in good health is something we are grateful for. Cancer is a terrible disease, and the sooner we eradicate it, the better!
