THE MIGHTY QUINN, I MEAN SPIDERMAN, GREETS HIS FORMER NURSE AT MGH FOR CHILDREN. QUINN ARRIVING WITH BACK UP FROM WEYMOUTH AND QUINCY POLICE. THEY HAVE LOADS OF TOYS FOR CURRENT PATIENTS. QUINN DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN CANCER AT AGE THREE, RELAPSED AROUND AGE FIVE BUT THE SEVEN-YEAR-OLD IS NOW STABLE. HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW THAT WHO'VE FINISHED ALL THE HARD STUFF? >> UM, HAPPY. >> QUINN WOULD WALK THESE HALLS FOR A PRIZED TOY EVERY FRIDAY DURING HIS SIX WEEKS OF PROTON RADIATION. >> IN THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE SIDE EFFECTS COME FROM THE NORMAL TISSUE BEING TREATED, SO IT'S MORE FOCUSED AND BETTER FOR PATIENTS, ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN THAT ARE STILL GROWING AND DEVELOPING.
