outline for my next real story

I just had an idea for a story. It might be a book even, or a graphic novel, or a miniseries. I think it'll be too big for a blog but I'm not sure. Hopefully I didn't forget anything between the car and here. I don't usually take notes before I start writing. Here's all I can remember.

1. Boy (preadolescent? early teen?) finds lump in throat
2. Boy is diagnosed with cancer
3. Experimental radiation treatment (via injection, detail on how actual treatment differs from preconceptions of a treatment with warm, green rays being xapped at him in a cold, grey, lead room)
4. Success! As boy heals, he finds himself getting stronger than others. He is developing superpowers (strength + what?)
5. Boy starts sneaking out and fighting crimes. Finds himself impervious to knives, bullets)
6. Boy wakes up to find black and blue splotches all over his body.
7. The cancer has returned, worse than before, but the boy is too strong for surgery. Syringes buckle as they are pressed against his veins.
8. More radiation treatment. The boy finds himself weaker with each treatment.
9. Boy starts acting different, as if possessed? Cancer is controlling him?
10. They must kill the boy with radiation to kill the cancer.
11. The boy dies, but the cancer lives.
12. Not sure yet: The cancer escapes? The cancer is killed? The cancer takes over for the boy fighting crime? The cancer takes on the boys' personality? The cancer is raised as a son?

Outside reading: Stories where superheroes die. Namely the X-Men Legacy Virus stories with Jamie Madrox, Doug Ramsey, and Illyanna Rasputin; the Death of Superman series.
