Cameron Monesmith will graduate this weekend with a degree in business from Boston University. But the fact that Monesmith is graduating on time and that he’s able to even walk is remarkable because of an egg-sized tumor that doctors found on his brain stem his junior year."I heard it, and I almost just smiled thinking, 'What is going on?'" Monesmith said. The cancer diagnosis led to two brain surgeries in two years, along with experimental therapies and relearning how to move, read and speak — all with the help of Dr. Bob Carter and the team at Massachusetts General Hospital."Sometimes I’ll talk to patients, and I’ll say, 'On a scale of 1-10, your tumor is a 6 or a 7.' In terms of technical difficulty, his was up there," Carter said.The two men are now forever connected and celebrating that Monesmith’s tumor has now decreased in size by 90%, and he will be able to walk across the graduation stage on his own to accept his diploma."You know, people used to think, 'brain tumor, that’s the end,' you know, and nowadays we have so much to offer," Carter said."I always tell my mom I’m kind of grateful it happened. Looking at it, it was a horrible time and a great challenge, but I look at myself and I think, what would I have been without it? And I don’t know if I would have reached where I’m at now without it," Monesmith said.
