Evie Lichtenwalter, a Ball State student taking an academic break due to cancer, stands in front of the Amelia T. Wood Health Center. In June, a Health Center registered nurse told Lichtenwalter that her pains were from a urinary tract infection. She was later diagnosed with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, a cancer that develops in the lining of the stomach. DN PHOTO JORDAN HUFFER
