The war against cancer is the most important fight in modern medical science. Cancer is so destructive and challenging to the lives of patients and their families alike that every victory is a cause for celebration.

The family of a Florida boy with cancer recently celebrated the end of their child’s chemotherapy in a now viral news story.

12-year-old Ian Bailey has been fighting bone cancer like a true champion. The young boy had endured many painful treatments and countless sleepless nights before undergoing his last round of chemotherapy on October 8 at Jacksonville’s Wolfson’s Children Hospital reports FOX News.

To celebrate the end of his chemotherapy, doctors and nurses at Wolfson’s Children Hospital surprised Ian with their own rendition of Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite.” The staff at Wolfson changed the lyrics for Ian, singing, “We throw our hands up in the air today, saying ay-oh, no more chemo,” and “Go on and celebrate and live your life, saying ay-oh, no more chemo.”

The Bailey family keeps a Facebook page called Ian’s Army so supporters can keep up to speed on their son’s progress and posted a video of the hospital staff singing to Ian. The little boy had difficulty hiding his emotions as he sat on the hospital bed holding back tears. FOX News reports that he then said "I don't usually get teary but whoa."

The video, which has been watched over 100,000 times thus far, ends with a nurse hugging Ian and telling him that she is very proud of him.

Shortly after posting the video, Shannon, Ian’s mom, revealed that Ian was checked out of the hospital. The family is looking forward to no longer having to contend with the painful realities of chemotherapy and hospital stays. Shannon also thanked all of the staff at Wolfson’s Children Hospital, telling them they have hearts of gold and showered her family with unconditional love and care.
