Local 6-year-old girl celebrates 1 year cancer free on Good Day

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (WTXF) - This New Year's Day, Good Day Philadelphia joined 6-year-old Laynee Costello in celebrating one year cancer free!

Laynee, who twice battled embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), stopped by Good Day Monday morning to commemorate the milestone.

ERMS is a malignant soft tissue tumor that forms from embryonic skeletal muscle tissue, the type of tissue that grows into skeletal muscles.

Laynee, who has also been featured on Good Day Philadelphia in the past, connected with FOX 29's Mike Jerrick last year at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Patient Prom.
