Cancer, sadly, is something a great many of us will have to contend with at some point in our lives.

Though we might not ourselves be affected by the terrible disease, the chances are high that someone we love – or, at least, someone we’re close to – will be.

Here at Newsner, we’ve covered all manner of cancer-related stories, some sad, some inspiring, some triumphant. The story of 2-year-old Beckett, however, was one that moved us more than any other.

You may remember the little boy in the harrowing picture above.

Beckett’s mother, Kaitlin Burge, posted an imagie to her social media in 2019 wherein her son, Beckett, then two, was seen while being comforted by his elder sister during chemotherapy treatment.

According to reports, Beckett was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on April 25, 2018 and began treatment immediately.

His then-four-year-old sister, Aubrey, had to watch as her baby brother struggled to summon the strength to even walk, let alone play.

According to Bright Side, Kaitlin told how Beckett spent 35 days in hospital being treated for cancer, during which time Aubrey wasn’t able to see him. She knew he was very sick, and that doctors were helping him, but it was all a bit much for her to wrap her head around.

Fortunately, Beckett’s treatment worked and the young boy is now cancer-free.

“I watched my only son go through so much and still smile. I watched my sweet Aubrey push through a difficult time in her life and become so independent,” Kaitlin explained.
