If two children in your family have cancer: ‘The twinkle in her eye was gone’

What is life like when you have two children with cancer? It is almost impossible to explain what Erik and Linda van Orden and their family went through last year. In the spring of 2022, daughter Isa was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Eighteen months later, brother Milano was diagnosed with a different type of cancer. Isa died on October 9, 2024, when she was 9 years old.
