Three X-Rays Came Back Normal. Then One MRI Changed Carter's Family Forever.

Carter had been limping for a while. His parents did everything right. They took him to the doctor. They got X-rays. Three of them. Every single one came back normal.

Then last week, doctors ordered an MRI. When his parents went in for the results, they were taken into another room. That's when they heard the words no parent is ever prepared for. Carter has cancer in his bone.

His mother says her heart fell to the floor. Not one ounce of her body had any clue this was even a possibility. One day her son had a limp. The next day, he had cancer.

There was no time to process. No time to grieve. By the very next morning, they were sitting in Duke Children's Hospital, and Carter was scheduled for a biopsy at 6am the following day.

This family's world turned upside down in a matter of hours. Now they face a long and frightening road of treatments, hospital stays, and unknowns.
