One night, as 12-year-old Beth Phelps was getting ready for bed and brushing her teeth, her parents noticed a lump sticking out on her shoulder, visible through her T-shirt.
Up until that point, Beth had been perfectly healthy.
A doctor’s visit soon revealed devastating news: Beth had a 7-centimeter lesion on her left lung, diagnosed as Ewing sarcoma — a rare and aggressive form of can.cer.
She immediately began treatment, undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Eventually, she was declared can.cer-free.
