Janessa "Boey" Byers was diagnosed with a rare cancer in 2006, she went through all the treatment and coped with her hair falling out. Boey remained strong and said that if you believe anything can happen.Boey got better and her hair began to grow back. Boey, both her parents (Rob & Rachel) and the rest of her family were so happy that Boey was improving...but disaster stuck.....
....Boey was told her cancer had come back, Boey screamed and did a hell of alot of crying and said to her mum "I dont want to lose my hair again" and "why me". Mum Rachel had many other heartbreaking things said to her by Boey during her illness.
As before Boey stayed as strong as a little 8 year old child can in her situation, she fought hard to find and cure and helped many cancer suffers feel as positive as she did.
In 2007 Boey and the rest of the Byers family got their house rebuilt by Ty Pennington & the rest of his team on Extreme Makeover:Home Edition, the house they had before was put on hold when Boey got ill and although it didnt look like a bad home it was what you couldnt see that counted...there was mould and the house was full of mice that were chewing wires and the house was full of cracks...far to dangerous for Boey. That was summer 2007.
On december 28th 2007 Boey Byers died of pneumonia, though there have been accounts that Boey lost her battle to cancer which is not true.
When Boey died she left behind a great legacy and her parents and siblings continue to fight to find a cure for cancer.
Boey believed....do you?
