DENVER (KDVR) Three Colorado teenagers formed an incredible bond, battling the same type of cancer together.

Now, they reunite to celebrate two major milestones in the same week, the end of their treatments.

Arcie Lovato and Anna Reed are two 16-year-olds who were both diagnosed with osteosarcoma. They met at HCA HealthONE Rocky Mountain Children’s and quickly formed a strong friendship.

“It’s really helpful having somebody that my age that I can talk to also going through cancer because they understand the struggles and the pain that takes and how much energy it takes out of you and they know that you’re not always going to be able to do stuff like them,” Lovato said. 

Throughout their treatment, Arcie and Anna provided each other with unwavering support, finding strength in their shared journey. They also became friends with another teenage girl in the same boat as them.

Brianna Carrasco who came from Vail to celebrate her two friends this week. 

“I really love Arcie and I think this is a really important day and I really wanted to be here to show her that I’m here always,” Carrasco said. “No matter how far away I have to go.”

“Arcie has basically been my therapy the whole way through everything,” Reed said. “And just over the course of the months, we became closer, and we’ve been on trips together. We’re just very close with each other and seeing Arcie happy after months of everything that she’s gone through just brings joy to my heart.”

The three teens reunited first for Arcie’s bell ringing marking the end of her treatment. Next, they’ll be together for Anna’s days after. The weekend of April 11 marks this special occasion.

“It means a lot because they were here for me during treatment and to still be friends with them after, I’m really thankful to have met them,” Lovato said.
