A 76-year-old woman with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma shares her reflections on facing death, emphasizing acceptance, the importance of support networks, following scientific updates, and maintaining hope and quality of life despite grim prognosis.
Katie Histing, a Reno girl diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called Ewing's sarcoma, is using her platform to advocate for childhood cancer. Despite beating the cancer twice, it keeps coming back, leading Histing to undergo numerous rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, and a stem cell transplant. Feeling the isolation of hospital life, she has turned to art therapy and created Katies Collective, a business that sells artwork to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer. Histing emphasizes the importance of focusing on the present and spreading awareness about the prevalence of childhood cancer.
