Four-year-old Michael \u201cHulk\u201d Schow has always had a dream of becoming a first responder when he grows up. Now, he finally has the chance! Michael\u2019s father details how the journey to this point has not been easy.<\/span>\u201cBack in September, he had a little lump on his leg,\u201d he explains. This turned out to be a rare form of childhood cancer known as rhabdomyosarcoma. The 4-year-old is now going on his 8th month of chemotherapy.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Michael is currently doing very well with chemo<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: NBC Montana<\/a><\/span>\u201cHe\u2019s had scans three times. His scans are every three months, and there\u2019s no evidence of disease in all three of his scans, so he\u2019s cancer-free right now,\u201d Michael\u2019s dad confirms. Throughout everything, he says his son has always remained positive<\/a>.<\/span>\u201cHe\u2019s always just bounced right back, and he\u2019s had five different surgeries on the same exact day.\u201d Sounds like Michael has and will remain strong through it all! Just this week, Michael was able to test out his new role on the force by arresting his first \u201cbad guy,\u201d according to NBC Montana.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: NBC Montana<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>Sheriff Ed Lester says that little Michael is an inspiration to all of them. \u201cHe has tremendous courage, and that\u2019s the thing that makes the world go round in this business,\u201d he says.<\/span>Michael\u2019s dad said none of this could\u2019ve happened without support from the community. \u201cThis is really amazing how everybody did this for him. This is his dream right here.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: NBC Montana<\/a><\/span>We are so happy to see a little boy have his dream fulfilled of becoming a first responder! What an incredible story and opportunity for everyone involved.<\/span>This is not the first time a child with cancer has become an honorary first responder. Take a look at the video below of a 6-year-old girl with incurable cancer being sworn in as a police officer. She says she wanted to become a cop so she can fight the \u201cbad guys in her body.\u201d<\/span>Proper BCS greatergood_ctg_abovevideo<\/span><\/span>Source<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
