An 18-year-old cancer survivor was one of the stars on Kaiser Permanente's float during the Rose Parade on Monday.
Matthew Enriquez, a former high school athlete, was diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was 16 years old. But thanks to the car of Dr. Naveen Qureshi and others, he's beating the odds."He actually had a very good response to treatment... but we developed a pretty good relationship with him," Qureshi said. "This is just a representation of the amazing care that we provide our patients, and I'm just so happy that we're using Matthew to represent that.
Enriquez formed a strong bond with his care team, and when he missed his high school graduation during treatment, they organized a special graduation ceremony for him in the clinic.
