Notice something interesting about the boy in the picture above? Had it not been for the flash of a camera, Taylor Treadwell’s parents wouldn’t have detected the boy’s cancer. But they saw the odd glow in his right eye and took him to the hospital. The results? A large tumor on his right eye and three smaller ones on his left. He suffered retinoblastoma.
