An outpouring of joy greeted Antiguan teenager Kishon as he returned home last week, nine months after undergoing intensive treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and a pre-existing heart condition.

Kishon received care at Clínica Imbanaco in Colombia, where a multidisciplinary team, including oncology, cardiology, and holistic care specialists, supported him through a challenging medical journey. According to family members, his treatment was successful, and he is now free of illness.

His return marks a moment of relief and celebration for loved ones and supporters across Antigua and Barbuda, many of whom rallied behind him through prayers, fundraising efforts, and messages of encouragement.

Kishon’s family says they are grateful for the overwhelming community support and the expertise of the international medical team that guided his recovery.
