The word "can't" is not in Adam Campfield's vocabulary.
"There's a way past every obstacle, whether it be over, under, around, through or if you just knock it out of the way," said Campfield.
At the age of one he was diagnosed with retinoblastoma--a cancer affecting the retinas. His entire childhood was full of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.
However, despite his obstacles, Adam got a 4.0 GPA in school and became a black belt in martial arts. "We talked about saying the word can't. That was our four letter word in our house," said his mother Joanna Campfield.
Now Adam faces one more challenge. The cancer is back. This time in his bones. He's keeping his high spirits. "Cancer is something I've faced before and I've defeated it before and it's just another obstacle," said Campfield.
Doctors don't know what to do for him other than to give him a high dose of chemotherapy. He's scouring the world looking for a miracle treatment. He's placed advertisements in magazines, a video on Youtube, even set up his own website.
"If you are someone or know someone or know someone who knows someone who thinks out of the box and has any ideas for a rare type of reoccurring cancer, just please get in touch with me."
It may be his last option.
