Yehuda and Dr. Wexler
When six-year-old Yehuda Furman developed sudden, unexplainable leg pain, cancer was the last thing his parents and local doctors suspected. The eventual diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma, and the possibility that he might never walk again, was initially almost too great a shock for the Furmans to comprehend when they sought treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Nate and Dr. Wexler
Life as they knew it changed for the Goldstein family the day five-year-old Nate was diagnosed with an advanced sarcoma in his leg. Every doctor they met gave him little chance of surviving, with amputation of his entire leg the only treatment choice. Every doctor, that is, until they met Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Leonard Wexler, who accepted neither the survival statistics nor the necessity of removing Nate's leg.
