Joni Eareckson Tada shares some miraculous news — she’s cancer-free.
The author, speaker and founder of Joni and Friends was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in late November.
Earlier this week, Tada shared a photo of herself holding a sign reading, “All Clear” on her website and Facebook page.
“Proverbs 25:25 says, ‘Good news from far away is like cold water to a thirsty soul.’ That perfectly describes Ken (Tada’s husband) and me today,” she captioned the photo.
Tada said that she and her husband were prepared to “gladly take whatever from the hand of God, even if it were from his left hand.”
“But the Lord was gracious and heard the desire of our hearts – last Friday’s PET scan shows that my second tumor that was removed last November… did not metastasize! Given the aggressive nature of that reoccurring cancer, this news is quite miraculous,” she wrote.
Tada, 69, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer eight years ago. After undergoing a mastectomy and chemotherapy treatment, she was declared cancer-free.
Tada explained that while she would love to be in Heaven, she believes it’s more “needful for Christ” that she remains on earth, as there are millions of people with disabilities who don’t know Jesus.
In May, Tada announced she’d returned to Joni and Friends full time following a series of radiation treatments.
