You don’t have to wonder what Austin Benson’s thoughts are about chemotherapy treatment. The Camas High School student recently made several wristbands inscribed with “CHEMO SUCKS!” for his senior project and sold them for $1 each. Benson donated the proceeds to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It’s something that is close to his heart, after being diagnosed with lymphoma when he was 10 years old. Benson endured multiple rounds of chemotherapy and has been cancer-free for seven years.
