On one of the worst days of Deb Andersonâs life, she was thinking about others.
This is one of her characteristics, according to her friends. The Columbus resident is genuine, works behind the scenes and is devoted to her faith.
In 2011, Anderson and her husband, Kip, took their son Kyle to get checked out.
âThe day that Kyle was diagnosed, they had a CT scan done,â Andersonâs friend, Abbie Tessendorf said. âTheyâre doctors so you know that everybody that saw the scan knew, probably before they did, that he had a huge tumor.â
Anderson called Tessendorf afterward and told her Kyle had a tumor. It was probably osteosarcoma, she told Abbie. Osteosarcoma is a form of bone cancer.
