Unlikely Hope: Lew's Story with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer

from Faith Through Cancer | Cancer Stories and Biblical Encouragement through all Cancer Stages · host Val Dube

In this episode, Val sits down with Lew Worthington, a retired pastor and author living with stage IV pancreatic cancer, to talk honestly about faith in the middle of uncertainty. Lew shares his journey from diagnosis to remission, the realities of fear and “scanxiety,” and how Scripture, community, caring for others, and gratitude have shaped the way he lives each day. Rather than offering easy answers, Lew speaks candidly about suffering, hope that is deeper than optimism, and the long, quiet ways God shows up over time. This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone navigating cancer, caregiving, or the tension between trusting God and living with unanswered questions.
