Quoting Oncoheroes Biosciences’ post:

“How do you live a cancer diagnosis as a child? How is life after treatment? Albert Ananyan and Richi Garcia Puig, two young childhood cancer survivors shared their experiences with cancer at the Oncothon2024 by OncoDaily.

In a session led by Derek Lynch, volunteer at the Richi Childhood Cancer Foundation, Albert and Richi bravely recounted the treatments they endured and the profound impact childhood cancer had on their lives. Despite the adversity they faced, both are now pursuing their dreams with passion and determination.

Albert, reflecting on his journey, shared, “life is full of challenges, but that’s its beauty.” His words encapsulate the spirit of resilience that has driven him forward. Richi, on the brink of his junior year at Framingham University, offered inspiring advice to fellow survivors, urging them to embrace their dreams and live life to the fullest. “Find your passion and pursue it relentlessly,” he emphasized.
