Quincy 3-year-old ‘The Mighty Quinn’ making strides battling brain cancer, taken off feeding tube - The Boston Globe
Quinn Waters, the 3-year-old son of Quincy police Officer Tara Waters, has made remarkable strides in his battle against cancer and no longer requires a feeding tube, a welcome development in a story that’s rallied the Police Department and the region.
Quinn’s family posted an update on Sunday on The Mighty Quinn, his Facebook page.
“Happy to report our Mighty Quinn is 100% feeding tube free...he’s had the NG tube since February and only went without it during his high dose chemotherapy prior to the stem cell transplants,” the posting said. “I mean isn’t he the handsomest-and that hair.”
The posting said Quinn remains “on medications and we need to weigh him daily to make sure he’s consistently gaining, but another hurdle our little warrior has tackled!”
