Josh’s Battle
Posted by robbyshobbies on February 17, 2012
Josh Rominger is a junior at Davie High School in Mocksville, North Carolina. Josh had a cough for a couple of months that he couldn’t shake. So about a week before Christmas 2011, the doctor decided to do a chest X-Ray and sent it off to be reviewed. Josh was then informed he had a very large synovial sarcoma tumor on his right lung.
The plan was to remove the right lung then on to chemotherapy if needed. Josh showed a tremendous amount of faith and courage. He said “Everything’s going to be fine! I’ve got God!”
Josh under went 16 hours of surgery on December 27th to remove the lung. This left 2% of the tumor behind his heart, which meant chemo after recovery.
Josh endured a series of “speed bumbs.” One major one being severe swelling after the surgery which resulted in his left leg having to be amputated above the knee.
