Children are tripping and falling all the time, and at most, it usually results in a trip to the emergency room to treat an injury that they quickly recover from. For one little boy, however, his fall was the beginning of a journey that no child should have to go through.

Cameron Scott is an 8 year-old boy who has always loved superheroes. His parents Tamika and Wendell Scott have said that Batman is Cameron’s favorite hero because Batman’s superpower is his brain.

One day in 2017, Cameron tripped and fell down the stairs, injuring his back. His parents decided to take him to the hospital, where doctors gave him an MRI and discovered that his medical situation was far worse than anyone could have imagined.

“It was like an out-of-body experience,” Tamika recalled. “They initially showed us the back and his spine, and the doctor looking at the pictures turned to the other doctors and said, ‘I need another MRI. I need you to scan upward.'”

After the second MRI, doctors found that Cameron had a high-risk stage 4 tumor known as Medulloblastoma. The tumor was located in his brain, and it had already travelled to the young boy’s spine.

Doctors at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital removed the tumors in a four hour surgery. They then started using a new treatment called targeting treatment, which means that instead of having a patient endure full-body chemo, the specific cancer is treated where it’s located.

After undergoing chemotherapy and radiation for six months and a year of treatment, Cameron is now cancer free! Against all odds, this little boy beat this aggressive form of cancer!

“He’s my hero,” his father Wendell said.

Cameron celebrated his victory over cancer with a trip to the Legoland Florida Resort with his parents and five older siblings.
