WARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) – More than 100 police cruisers and fire trucks and even a helicopter from all over Rhode Island and Massachusetts gave a 2-year-who is battling cancer his very own Good Night Lights at home in Warwick Monday night.
Rowan Shaw got to watch what seemed like a never ending parade of first responders riding past his window.
“It was enormous to say the least. From the helicopters, to the coastal ambulance coming down from the cape, to Boston,” said his Uncle Daniel Rayhall. “We’ve seen state police, we’ve seen all kinds of vehicles.”
WARWICK Little Rowan Shaw, 2½, is putting up a big fight against high-risk metastatic neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer that produces fast-growing tumors.
He has heavy artillery fighting for him in Boston, where he endured nausea and lack of appetite during chemotherapy and was radioactive for weeks so doctors could research a new liquid radiation treatment. At home in Warwick, he’s been getting drive-by parades of well-wishers honking and waving to show they care.
Those parades have escalated, said one of Rowan s uncles, Daniel Rayhall, who was pressed into service as family spokesman Monday night. The Shaws had to stay inside and everyone else had to stay outside. Radiation strong enough to shrink his tumor also left him with no immunity, Rayhall said.
