A Florida teenager with a rare form of cancer, who married his high school sweetheart last month, died Friday, according to reports.
Florida resident Dustin Snyder, 19, was given only a few weeks to live when he married his childhood sweetheart Sierra Siverio, 21.
Snyder’s sister Sharon Chownyk said on Facebook her brother "passed in peace and is flying with the angels above. ... Dustin Snyder you fought so hard and held on as long as you could for your family!" Snyder and Siverio got married last month in a ceremony in Plant City near Tampa. Snyder had then said he wanted to live out the rest of his days with the “love of his life.”
He was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, just a day before his 18th birthday in 2016, according to a GoFundMe page set up to raise money for his wedding. Doctors said last month he only had a few weeks or maybe a month to live. Snyder proposed to his childhood sweetheart several days before the Jan. 28 wedding ceremony.
Synovial sarcoma affects the soft tissues surrounding various bones and organs of the body. It is known to affect one to three individuals in a million people every year. Although this disease is said to occur at all ages, it is more likely to be seen in teenagers or young adults.
