Actress Lauren Tom, best known for her roles in Friends, Futurama, and The Joy Luck Club, has revealed that her 25-year-old daughter, Ellie, has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, the most common form of primary bone cancer. Tom shared the news publicly while asking for support and raising awareness about her daughter's health battle, prompting an outpouring of encouragement from fans and fellow actors.
While Ellie now faces months of treatment, her diagnosis has also drawn attention to a rare cancer that most often affects adolescents and young adults during periods of rapid bone growth.
