We are deeply grateful for the many friends who love Nancy and have faithfully walked alongside Revive Our Hearts through the years. We want to share a personal update about Nancy’s recent cancer diagnosis, along with encouraging news of God’s kindness and provision through this unexpected season. As she begins a course of preventative chemotherapy, we invite you to join us in praying for her continued healing, strength, and peace.
Nancy began chemotherapy November 9. The current plan is for her to have three cycles, spaced three weeks apart. Please pray that the treatments would be effective and the side effects would be manageable. And pray that the Lord would encourage her heart during this difficult season, especially as she approaches the first anniversary of Robert’s hospitalization and Homegoing.
Our team is so grateful for the many friends who have walked alongside this ministry through the years and care deeply about Nancy, our founder and leader. We wanted to take a moment to share a personal update about her recent health journey, including some encouraging news.
In September, Nancy underwent surgery to remove a mass from her abdomen, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), an uncommon type of cancer. The surgery was successful, and we are grateful that the cancer was detected early and was fully contained.
While there was no evidence of additional cancer in the other tissues or lymph nodes examined, the pathology report did reveal some “atypical cells” that were suspected to be malignant. Because of this uncertainty, along with the characteristics of the tumor, her medical team has recommended a course of preventative chemotherapy in hopes of reducing the risk of recurrence. Nancy is at peace with this direction, and her first of three anticipated chemotherapy treatments took place on November 9.
Please pray that the treatments would be effective, the side effects manageable, and that the Lord would encourage Nancy’s heart during this difficult season, especially as she approaches the first anniversary of Robert’s hospitalization and Homegoing.
Nancy hopes to continue studying as she feels up to it and resume recording Wonder of the Word teaching as soon as she is able.
Thank you for understanding that she is unable to respond to texts, emails, comments, and DMs as she undergoes treatment.
Our team will share any significant updates on this page.
Thank you for your friendship and prayers as the Lord continues to write Nancy’s story and the story of Revive Our Hearts. May Christ be magnified!
As Nancy often reminds us:
Heaven rules.
Jesus is near.
The week after Nancy’s surgery, she had the opportunity to share with a group of ministry partners. She felt prompted to speak on "The God I Trust." We trust these thoughts will minister grace to you, especially if you, or others you know, are in a hard place.
