“Surviving Cancer Through God’s Word”
And so my life is safe, and I will live to tell what the LORD has done.
Katrena writes:
In March of 2008 I was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 Ovraian cancer, I was given less than a week to live as it had matastized onto my colon and flattened it.
God told me though the Holy Spirit that his word was true and that I was not going to die. Then if felt like he wrapped me into his arms and carried me though everything that followed.
He provided me with an amazing surgeon, only 2 in the state I live in that would even attempt this type of surgery. After the surgery, my lungs quit working properly and filled up with fluids, my husband laid hands on me and they started draining.
I was told later that they were within 24 hours of putting a permanent trach in me. My kidneys quit working and my pastor laid hands on me and they started again. After a month in the hospital I got out and another Oncologist told me I was still going to die from this.
God said all you have to do is believe my word is true and live. I am now cancer free and able to spread the word that Jesus died for us, we do not have to die for something that the devil is the creator of. I shall live and tell anyone who will listen and believe that you do not have to die from any illness.
Jesus paid the price for us.

Dear Katrena:
I ‘heard’ the echo of the tender voice of Jesus: “Daughter, you faith has made you whole” (Mark 5:33) in your miraculous recovery.
I wish that your medical process had been filmed on Discovery Channel, so your beautiful and powerful true life story would inspire and give hope to the sick and the feeble, far and wide.
I rejoice with you and can’t help joining in the chorus of Psalm 118:
“Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting…
The LORD is my strength and my song,
And He has become my salvation…
Thou art my God, and I give thanks to Thee;
Thou art my God, and I extol Thee….”
Thank you very much, and
Please take good care.
May GOD ALL MIGHTY continue to shower His Inestimable and Infinite Blessings upon you and yours;
GODSPEED, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.

I am overjoyed with your testimony. God is great and all He asks us to do is trust Him (which can be hard at times). But, Im happy that you believed in Him totally. God bless

Hi Katrena thanks for sharing your story. I’m 32y/o & was just told by my doctor that I probably have cancer. A test showed abnormal cells and now I’m waiting for biopsy result.
I believe that God can do what He did to you- I’ve been holding on to His word that by Jesus stripes I’m healed! You are right we do not have to die for something that the devil is the creator- but we shall live.
