Courageous Kids

Cody

“I'm thankful to all the doctors and nurses that I'm a cancer survivor.” -
Cody, 7 years old

“When our son, Cody was diagnosed with cancer, all I could think was, 'God, why couldn't it have been me?'” - Cody's mom, Judy

"Now that Cody is in remission, we are so grateful to the whole treatment team at Stony Brook. We really view them as our saviors. We had complete faith and never even considered needing a second opinion. We knew that we would have to put our son's life into their hands with full confidence, we did just that." - Cody's dad, Scott
