Jasmin Sehic missed out on a dream 30 years ago because of war but has become a soldier for his daughter's own health battle.
A former Olympian's daughter faced adversity just like her dad competing on the world stage. But as ABC13 learned, the faceoff was for something more - her health and her ability to walk.The casual conversation we witness between four people is not part of just any hospital visit. It's the latest win for a local family.
"I never had a doubt in my mind that I wasn't going to beat this," Mely, now 18, admitted. "I just knew right away, we have to go through this, and once we go through this, I'll be healthy and able to recover well.", she had radiation and chemotherapy. The chemo caused nerve damage and cost Mely, a former athlete, her ability to walk."This had to be a team effort from start to finish," Dr.
"That was the end of my sports career," Jasmin recalled. "But there's something inside of me that's still there, and nobody can remove . It's a love for life, sports and seeing people getting better." "All my life, I've just been an overly-positive person and looked on the bright side of things," Mely, Cy Woods High School grad, explained. "I think that's what helped when I first got diagnosed."
