A teen’s joyful moment after conquering a rare form of cancer will move you. Be sure to grab the tissues because this is likely to bring a tear or two to your eyes. Watch the short but powerful clip to see how this young man signaled he had beaten cancer, and is now ready to get back to his life.
The world is often a sad, scary and lonely place. Sadly, sickness and disease are part of our world and inflict much hurt and pain upon individuals and families. There is no greater pain than watching a loved one hurting and struggling as they battle a disease and knowing there is nothing you can do to relieve their pain. That’s a situation you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.
Cancer is horrible. There is nothing good about cancer, as it only hurts and destroys. Learning about a loved one’s cancer diagnosis will throw your entire world into upheaval, changing your whole outlook and perspective on life and the importance of time. However, there is likely no greater feeling than when a loved one comes through a cancer battle, defeating that horrible disease.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Evan Lallo, a 14-year-old, defeated a rare form of cancer, capturing the moment in which he celebrated officially being cancer-free. Following seven months of chemotherapy treatments, the young man cut a ribbon signaling the end of his chemotherapy. It was a celebration for everyone involved, and why shouldn’t it be?
The clip mentions that Evan was initially diagnosed with a bone tumor after an MRI revealed a mass on his neck in November 2024. Then, after several rounds of chemotherapy and a procedure in May 2025, it was later determined that he was cancer-free.
A quote from the young man in the video shows that he wants nothing more than to get back to living and enjoying life.
“I can’t wait to get back to playing sports with my friends, especially basketball,” he said.
Matthew 19:26 “And Jesus, looking at them, said, ‘With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.’”
