I had a baby cousin that was diagnosed with cancer at birth. Treatment for two years and really started to improve! One night, his vitals dropped and he went into septic shock. He was dead within minutes. Autopsy later confirmed that he had a rip in his bowels that was not detected soon enough. The real kicker, he was cancer free at this point. Chemo and radiation was too much for his little body.
