Joey fell ill when he was just 11 days old. A nail infection allowed doctors to discover that the baby had brain cancer. The diagnosis was devastating for the family, who faced a long battle against the disease from the very first moment of their son's life.
Five years after starting treatment, Joey managed to beat cancer. The family went through a difficult period of struggle and uncertainty, but finally received the news they had been waiting for: their son was free from the disease.
Today, Joey has begun a phase that his family never imagined possible: he started going to school. This milestone represents for the family not just another academic achievement, but also confirmation that the boy managed to overcome a diagnosis that, in the early days of life, seemed to leave no room for hope.
