Planning a safe wedding for a young mom who’s battling an intense form of cancer would always be tough—but this oncology ward in Arizona did it during a pandemic. As nurses at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in Glendale recently admired 22-year-old cancer patient Samantha Preston’s engagement ring, an incredible idea suddenly grabbed everyone’s attention. Preston’s medical team saw how much support she received from her fiancée Angel Aguilar during her extensive treatment for late-stage osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. They also knew how much love Preston felt for their toddler son, Odin, and wanted to help the family. “I said, ‘You’re coming in for a long day of transfusions on Friday. Why don’t you let us throw the wedding here at the clinic?’” said Amy Mabry, a nurse practitioner at the pediatric oncology center at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center.
