A picture worth a thousand words: A 15-year-old boy with terminal cancer comforts his younger brother after telling him that he will die

In a powerful image that has left many on social media in tears, a 15-year-old boy with terminal cancer comforts his sobbing brother after informing him that his life is coming to an end soon.

Teenager Ian was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, in 2019. A year and a half after undergoing surgery and months of chemotherapy, his family was delighted to learn that he was cancer-free.

Unfortunately, a life-threatening infection caused the disease to return in November 2021 and spread throughout his body.
