A 6-year-old boy who has been battling cancer got a surprise standing ovation from his classmates when he returned to school after finishing his last round of chemotherapy
John Oliver Zippay has been in and out of school for three years after he was diagnosed at age 3 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2016, his father John Zippay told CNN.On December 27, John Oliver got his last round of chemotherapy. To celebrate John Oliver's return to school in Newbury, Ohio, his classmates welcomed him back with applause, smiles, high-fives and cheers, as seen on video posted on Facebook.
After John Oliver was given his diagnosis, the next three years consisted of all different types of chemotherapy and procedures. The side effects were very strong and that's what made if difficult for John Oliver to do some of the normal things kids do at that age, let alone be at school on a consistent basis, according to his dad.Even though the 6-year-old missed so much school he never fell behind academically, St. Helen Catholic School Principal Patrick Gannon told CNN affiliate WJW.
