She Beat Cancer at 2 and 15 and Always Dreamed of Being a Nurse. Today, She Made Her Dream a Reality!

Getting a cancer diagnosis is never easy but it’s not a death sentence. Effective therapies are saving lives every single day and a young woman named Montana Brown is proof.

Montana was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare type of childhood cancer when she was only 2 years old. With the support of her family and the excellent medical team at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, she beat the disease after being treated for a year.

Years later, she enjoyed high school and dreamed of going to college to become a nurse. At 15 years old, she was devastated to find out her cancer relapsed. Again, she went through a year of radiation and chemotherapy and later received a clean bill of health from her doctors. She beat cancer a second time and looked forward to getting on with her life.

Today, at 24 years old she is now realizing her dreams of being a nurse. In fact, she is not only a nurse but will be returning to the same hospital where she was treated as a child and as a teenager.
