Boy's Construction Foreman Wish Granted

A 3-year-old California boy who has spent the past year battling cancer had his dream come true Tuesday by spending the day at a real, live construction site.

Renzo Lombardi of Seaside, California, was named honorary foreman at ground zero of a high-rise apartment building in San Francisco, where he was carried around by the sites real foreman and got to operate a crane himself.

The people kind of made him a little nervous at first but as soon as the foreman got him in with the construction equipment, he lit up, Renzos dad, Vince Lombardi, told ABC News. His mom and I were nonexistent at that time.

He was waving and smiling, which was wonderful to see because most of his second year of life, we were locked down at home, Lombardi said.

Doctors discovered a 3-pound Wilms tumor on Renzos left kidney in June of last year. He underwent surgery to remove both his tumor and his left kidney and then spent about 20 weeks undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
