Beautiful and vibrant 10 year old Linnea was experiencing what everyone thought were growing pains. Turned out to be stage 4 cancer: Metastatic Ewing Sarcoma. This was a shock to all, except God who was already at work coordinating plans for what was to unfold: pain relief, provision, perfect location for treatment, expedited tumor response, and best of all… Linnea’s treatment was a success and (at time of this recording) is now 5 years treatment being cared for annually at the Survivor Clinic at Phoenix Children’s hospital! Praise the Lord!
