NF Smarty Pants

Archive for December, 2008

Kaide Oliver has NF. Two years ago, he was also diagnosed with a brain tumor. Doctors believed that nine-year-old Kaide is only the second person in history to have both neurofibromatosis and this particular type of aggressive brain tumor.

After surgery, Kaide now appears to be cancer-free and has beaten the odds. Cancer Research UK named Kaide Oliver a recipient of its Little Star Award.

KOMO has an interview with James O’Neal after his dangerous but successful surgery to remove a massive facial tumor. There are before and after photos.
