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.
