HOPE, EVEN THROUGH HEARTACHE
Right now, hundreds of thousands of American families are in the fight against childhood cancer, and every two minutes another child will receive the diagnosis.
Sadly, childhood cancer is the number one disease killer of children in the United States, and according to reports, a quarter of those who are diagnosed will not survive. It’s a devastating battle, and since the average age of diagnosis is six, many children who survive their initial battle have to continue being monitored and treated well into their teenage and young adult years.

But there is reason for hope, through the stories of brave boys, girls and families who are Surviving & Thriving.
In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we're shining the spotlight on these stories and more.

There is a new resurgence in cervical arthroplasty thanks in part, to innovations created by Growing Bolder Medical Director Dr. Robert Masson and his team at Masson Spine Institute. As Dr. Masson says:
"I do a lot of theoretically inoperable surgeries. Our job, our goal, our burden is to try to help people become asymptomatic again or at least reduce the severity of the symptoms to the point where they're functional active, vibrant, and performing at a high level. And we achieve that much more likely than not."
We're proud to shine the spotlight on Dr. Masson and the MSI team, in a series of new stories here on Facebook.
