VANCOUVER, BC – Kenton Doust just wasn’t feeling himself.
Doust, 13 at the time, had been throwing up all month. And on October 10, 2015, he ended up fainting and getting rushed to the local hospital in the Comox Valley, where a CT scan revealed three brain tumours.
That same night, he was airlifted into BC Children’s Hospital.
All he remembers from the helicopter ride was someone saying the Vancouver Canucks lost in a shootout to the Calgary Flames.
“They kind of wrecked it for me,” Doust joked.
Four days later, he had brain surgery.
