Clinging to Hope When Life Gets Dark: Keely's Story with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma


Listen Later

In this powerful episode of Faith Through Cancer, I sit down with Keely Burton, a wife, mom, athlete, and follower of Jesus who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer (invasive ductal carcinoma just before her 40th birthday. Keely shares how God prompted her—out of nowhere—to check her breast, leading to the discovery of a lump that doctors initially thought was “just a cyst.” What followed was a journey marked by divine direction, supernatural peace, and medical miracles that even her doctors couldn’t explain.

Keely opens up about experiencing profound loss before cancer, hitting a moment of full surrender to God, and discovering joy and purpose she never had before. She also shares how her tumor shrank without treatment, how God carried her through surgery and chemo, and how He turned a terrifying diagnosis into the beginning of a brand new life of calling and impact.
