2-year-old boy feted by town with early Christmas dies of brain cancer
The 2-year-old boy for whom an entire town celebrated Christmas early in September reportedly died Friday, according to his father. The child, Brody Allen, was diagnosed with Embryonal Tumor with Multilayered Rosettes and was battling the fast-growing brain and spinal cord cancer for months.
Brody was diagnosed with the rare form of cancer in August and the doctors informed the family he had had just two months to live after he was discharged from the hospital. He had reportedly spent 98 days in doctors' care. Ever since the family was given a timeline by medical experts, they have dedicated every day to Brody and tried to shower as much happiness as possible on the little boy, which included celebrating Christmas - their favorite holiday - early with their child, reports stated.
