In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Faith Through Cancer, cancer survivor Valerie Quinata shares her journey through a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and healing. Valerie opens up about how faith, prayer, Scripture, and community helped her conquer fear, advocate for herself during treatment, and stay connected to God's promises every step of the way.
She discusses the commandment "Do Not Fear", lifestyle changes after cancer, and the emotional and spiritual healing that often go hand-in-hand with physical recovery. Valerie also shares practical insights on advocating for yourself in the medical system, building a supportive environment, and staying grounded in God’s Word daily. Plus, she talks about her book, Heal the Sick, written to encourage others walking through cancer with faith and courage.
Key Quotes from Valerie: 💬 “Cancer did not survive me—by the grace of God, I am a conqueror.” 💬 “Fear is an open door. God commands us not to fear, and we must obey.” 💬 “Your true defense against cancer is love—God’s love, family love, community love.” 💬 “Healing happens on this side or the next, but healing will happen.”
Bible Verses Mentioned: 📖 Joel 2:21–27 – God’s promise of restoration: “Do not be afraid. Be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things.” 📖 Deuteronomy 32:39 – "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and compassion on whom I will have compassion."
