“It was an aggressive type. In her words, when she first found out, was ‘God’s gonna use this for his glory,’” Natalie said. 

“She thought it fearlessly and she said, ‘We’re not going to live in dread during all of this.’ And she even did CrossFit while she was with her chemo treatments. She responded well to treatments and she was declared evidence without disease.”
