NORTH HAVEN, CT — "It's a Christmas miracle," Nicole Feeley told Patch Tuesday after she was told by the team of oncologists — who have been treating her son Ryder, 6, after a section of a massive tumor was removed from around his brain — that the tumors inside the child's body "are not cancerous."
While the first-grader will not require radiation, in two weeks, she'll meet with his surgeon and he will begin chemotherapy treatments for a year. Feeley explained that the once weekly treatments consist of two medications to "get rid of the active cells and may shrink the tumors which will remain and be dormant."
