‘I’m not done yet:’ Vann overcomes cancer diagnosis

Nate Vann had just completed a track meet when he felt some pain on his right side, but he didn’t think much of it. Soon, Vann’s world would be flipped upside down.

After being examined the following Monday, Vann was told he had a dislocated rib and had it popped back in. The doctors also ordered an X-ray. In early February, Vann was told he had a fractured rib and it had something else on it. To get a closer look at it, a CT scan was ordered. Vann was then told there was a tumor on his rib.
