A Washington teenager fighting bone cancer was the victim of a hoax by a woman who allegedly wanted to get closer to the star of the TV show ‘The Deadliest Catch,’ q13fox.com reported.
The woman, who stepped up and offered to pay Thomas Doty’s treatments has mysteriously vanished after stringing the teen and his family along for weeks. Meanwhile, the family turned down offers from other people, not wanting to take money they didn’t need.
Doty, 19, from Maple Valley, Wash., was diagnosed with a form of bone cancer called osteosarcosis three years ago. His family went bankrupt paying for his treatments – including several tumor removal surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy, according to the TV station. None of the treatments were successful, prompting doctors to recommend the family seek out alternative options, which can cost up to $250,000.
