BROOKVILLE â Ten-year-old Brock Roy of DuBois was surprised Friday afternoon when he was escorted through three towns by police cars and fire trucks as he was on his way home from the hospital.
Brock was diagnosed with a form of leukemia the summer after he completed first grade. Now a fifth-grader in the DuBois schools, he had his last chemo treatment Friday at Childrenâs Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Elisha Burns, who was his fourth-grade teacher at Juniata Elementary School, said, âIt has been a long, hard battle for him.â Treatment included spinal chemo, oral chemo and blood thinners.
âBrock is cancer free,â she said, âand he deserves a celebration, even if it is COVID style. He got to ring the bell after his last treatment, a tradition in the cancer center, but the doctors and nurses werenât able to line the hallways.â
