Cancer is one of the hardest things to go through. When kids are involved, it\u2019s even more heartbreaking.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

When a child receives a diagnosis, not only do their families have to go through it with them but their friends do as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For a young boy in Brazil named Davi, he was diagnosed with cancer and his best friend, Heitor, was right by his side through it all. The boy boys were close, and a medical diagnoses might pull some friends apart but it only brought these two closer together.<\/span><\/p>\n
