Why Cancer, This Means War 

In my early 40s, I heard the words nobody ever wants to hear: 

You have cancer. 

Those words sent my life on a new trajectory. 

Cancer deepened my walk with Jesus, fortified my faith, and made me a more passionate and determined prayer warrior. It also gave me a deeper compassion for everyone affected by cancer, whether you are the one fighting, the caregiver standing beside someone you love, or a family member or friend walking alongside them. 

My hope is that God will use Cancer, This Means War and the accompanying workbook to help others fight with faith the way He taught me to during my own battle. 

To pray boldly for the cancer warriors on the front lines beside you. 

To use Scripture to fight the fears that attack your mind at 2 a.m. 

To lean into God when the unknown feels overwhelming. 

To trust Him above every fearful thought and every difficult doctor’s report. 

I feel honored and humbled to have this opportunity to speak into the lives of those facing cancer in whatever form it takes, and my prayer is that these pages will continually point you back to Jesus, His Word, His presence, and the hope we have in Him. 

That same heart also led me to open Cancer Care Package, a company created to provide meaningful gifts and encouragement to cancer warriors and the people who love them. 

Because nobody should fight cancer alone. 

And if you need a prayer warrior beside you in your fight, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would be honored to pray with you and for you. 

Nobody fights alone. 

With you in this fight, 
Susan 

For Bible Studies & Small Groups 

Cancer, This Means War, along with the accompanying workbook, was written to be used both individually and in a group setting. It is well suited for church groups, Bible studies, cancer support groups, and small groups walking through cancer together. 

Having led Bible studies and small groups for many years, I have seen firsthand the strength that comes from gathering together in faith. Cancer often tries to isolate us, but God so often works through community. 

It is through sharing honestly, praying for one another, encouraging one another, and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable that we find strength. 

During my own cancer journey, I found that the more I prayed for others, the more peace God gave me for myself. 

That is one of my hopes for this book and workbook: that they will cultivate meaningful conversations, deeper prayer, honest encouragement, and a community of people willing to stand beside one another in faith and prayer. 

Because no one should have to fight alone.
