A Sick Picture Of 7-Year-Old Boy With Rare Malignant Cancer Went Viral, The Child Has Rhabdomyosarcoma Cancer And Undergo Special Treatment

A poor picture of a 7-year-old boy battling rhabdomyosarcoma disease went viral. In the photo, Logan Sellers of Bangor, Wales can be seen lying exhaustedly on a couch after having chemotherapy. The boy's father posted the photo online to show the daily battles his son has to endure.

Logan Sellers, who has cerebral palsy, has been detected with a tumor called rhabdomyosarcoma after he had a lump behind his right eyes. Due to his condition, Sellers frequently awakens in the middle of the night and moans to his dad in frustration of the torment and pain he's going through.

The father said they are fortunate that the lump developed forward and not backward into his brain. Plus they were lucky that they caught it early.

However, several days passed, his tumor battle intensifies. This time, the 7-year-old boy has started refusing food intake. Also, he is no longer engrossed and interested with toys. The worst is he has spent a day throwing up all he has eaten.

"He's been having three-day sessions of chemotherapy every three weeks in Manchester, and it's made him very poorly," Daily Post quoted James Sellers, father of Logan, as saying. The father added that the boy is also having nightmares and night sweats.

The father then decided to travel to the United States where treatment of his son's cancer is only available. In the United States, Sellers was given the pioneering cure to combat his tumor.

The boy was told by his father that he is not very well and that he requires special treatment to make him well which is what made all his hairs to fall out. However, he was not told about the cruelty of his cancer and how it can affect him.

"To be honest, it's uncomfortable and upsetting to talk about but it's only for people like me that people can be educated," the father said according to The Sun. That is why the father posted a picture of his son online. The father said he's the main reason why he posted a poorly picture of his son was to show the harsh reality behind the scenes. The photo showed the boy lying on a sofa after having a cancer treatment went viral on the Internet.

Presently, the boy lives in the United States with his father and sister. Logan receives a proton therapy, a kind of radiation that can more precisely identify and kill cancers - which is available in the United States.
