Cal Huang is a patient who had Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.

History[]

Cal was diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome as a child. He had an adrenocortical carcinoma, which was successfully treated, but two years later, he was back in the hospital for mid-back pain and was diagnosed with a large benign schwannoma. During this hospital stay, he met the hospital chaplain, James Morgan, who indulged Cal's fascination with death and even helped him plan his own funeral. Fortunately, the doctors were able to remove the tumor, but after his surgery, he became unstable and another scan showed an inoperable, fast-growing, malignant brain tumor. He and his father were told he was doing to die in weeks or months. Cal was upset because that wasn't enough time for him, so Levi helped him make a list of things he wanted to do to make the time seem to last longer, including going to space camp, seeing Mount McKinley, and re-reading The Lord of the Rings.
