WEYMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - Jarlath Waters, the father of the “Mighty Quinn,” a Weymouth boy who had a very public battle with brain cancer, has been diagnosed with glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer.
The Mayo Clinic says there’s no known cure but treatments can slow growth.
Waters will be starting chemotherapy and radiation in the coming weeks.
Many now calling him the “Mighty Dad” who stood by his young son every step of the way.
His son, Quinn, was diagnosed with brain cancer at 3 years old. After two long battles, he was declared cancer free in March.
The Waters family says they are grateful for all the support.
The family released a statement on Facebook, saying, “We have a long road ahead of us, we hope it is very, very long. We will need every single prayer you can offer our way. We hope and pray for a miracle, but maybe that miracle is a lot of “good time” to make as many memories as possible.”
