When he was just 10 years old, he was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma. A cancerous tumor was growing rapidly inside his head.
“I actually had an ear infection in the weeks leading up to it that we thought that’s just what it was, but we tried to get it to go away and it didn’t,” explains Guthrie.
His mother Tina says it was “shocking because it came out of nowhere.” She says the ear infection and the sudden appearance of a growth at the back of Dylan’s throat set off a chain reaction for medical professionals who raced to treat the young boy, fast.
