Multispecialty Team Saves Toddler with Eye Cancer
”When Gabe looks in a mirror, we don’t want him to see a kid who had cancer. We want him to see a kid who likes to play basketball, a kid who’s good at math, a kid who wants to be a doctor when he grows up. That’s what we want, to cure the cancer and give a person the most normal life that they can have.”
