Siblings reunite after brother spends months in the hospital for cancer treatment

The Fowler siblings from Shelby Township, Michigan, recently reunited when brother Beckett came home from the hospital. Beckett Fowler, 3, has been at St. Jude's in Tennessee receiving chemotherapy for the last six months to fight his brain cancer.

In a moving scene captured on video, a family was reunited with its youngest member after the little boy spent six months in the hospital for cancer treatment. 

The Fowlers live in Shelby Township, Michigan, but have been spending time separately from the youngest sibling of all. 

Beckett Fowler was diagnosed with an AT/RT (atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor) in March — and has been in the hospital ever since, as SWNS reported.
